Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based therapy that has been shown to be effective in treating a wide range of mental health conditions. However, CBT was originally developed in Western cultures with client populations mostly lacking in diversity. Thus, in order to provide equitable treatment, cultural adaptation of CBT (CaCBT) emerged. What components are adapted? What aim, frameworks, and models are considered in order to make a cultural adaptation? In this episode, we hear from Dr. Farooq Naeem, a pioneer in CaCBT.
