Developing therapeutic relationships in multicultural settings.
The expertise of native peoples as well as resources drawn from humanities, education, and arts organizations in Arizona contributed to an educational program to heighten the cultural sensitivity of health care professionals at the Children's Health Center of St. Joseph's Hospital. The sentiment expressed by Kraut that "respect for the cultural preferences and taboos of more traditional medical systems thus renders American physicians more effective and in the long run more efficient" is supported by our experience with this program.
