Читать книгу Counseling the Culturally Diverse - Laura Smith L. - Страница 79

The culture‐bound assumptions that we are examining with regard to mental health practice span many areas of everyday life, such as taken for granted notions of professionalism. Aysa Gray of the Stanford Social Intervention Review explains that these assumptions unfold in the workplace “in many ways: in white and Western standards of dress and hairstyle (straightened hair, suits but not saris, and burqa and beard bans in some countries); in speech, accent, word choice, and communication (never show emotion, must sound ‘American,’ and must speak white standard English); in scrutiny (Black employees are monitored more closely and face more penalties as a result); and in attitudes toward timeliness and work style” (Gray, 2019, para. 4).
