title: The cultural context of psychology: questions for accurate research and appropriate practice.
abstract: This article summarizes the contents of the recent conference, "The Cultural Context of Psychology," held in New York City in August 1995. Using an innovative format of small-group discussions, 22 facilitators posed a total of over 100 key unanswered questions in multicultural psychology. There questions, organized along three categories-awareness, knowledge, and skills-form the foundation of this article. This article serves as a cognitive map for needed research and discussion on multicultural issues in mental health. The references were carefully selected to provide the interested reader with resources for follow-up work on the topics presented.
