Abstract
Culture. How can something so integral to our daily lives be so challenging to understand in ourselves and others? As clinicians, parents, and patients, nearly all that we say and do passes through our own cultural filter, often influencing our thoughts and actions without our active awareness. In its most sterile form, culture can be defined as “the customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group; the characteristic features of everyday existence as diversions or a way of life.”1 At the individual level, cultural identity considers the influence of race, ethnicity, religion, family history, gender identity, and other factors on social, psychological, and biological functioning and wellbeing.
