Culturally Responsive Assessment and Treatment of Generalized Anxiety Disorder

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Cultural Factors in Behavioral Health

Abstract

The literature suggests that generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is one of the most difficult anxiety disorders to treat successfully. While several evidence-based practices have emerged to increase the success of GAD treatment, there is a dearth of literature discussing the integration of multiculturalism, cultural responsiveness, and evidence-based practice in the treatment of GAD. Cultural responsiveness is a benchmark for ethical clinical practice and continues to be a priority in the effective treatment of diverse populations with mental health disorders. This chapter seeks to discuss culturally responsive treatment of GAD including multicultural principles and culturally responsive assessment practices, as well as provide examples of culturally responsive treatment approaches for GAD.
