Providing sensitive, individualized, and effective intervention and care depends on the ability to cross cultural boundaries--differences in culture, lifestyle, race, gender, ethnic background, age, education, religion, class, sexual orientation, geographic location, disabilities, life experiences, occupation, and a host of others. This book will help practitioners and occupational therapy students gain perspective on the cultural diversity of clients in the health care environment, explains the "whys" and "hows of achieving cultural competency, and will help readers' skills in this critical area.
