Assignment:
Role-Playing Practice: Using the CFI to Individualize Anxiety Care

Social workers need to be able to identify cultural conceptions of illness and mental illness. Because studies show that anxiety and depression differ from culture to culture and within cultures, it is important to build skill using the Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI) to elicit how an individual has actually incorporated their cultural beliefs. While the core interview is a set of 16 questions, more detailed versions expand on each area. In this Assignment, you sensitively apply the CFI to your case collaboration partner as well as research how to address and individualize anxiety resources for your partner’s culture and needs.

To prepare:

  • Read the Diaz (2017) article and take note of their experience using the CFI and the advantages they found in the process. Also note the minority stress concerns that arise in those working with anxiety issues in different cultures.
  • Review the CFI questions and readings in the DSM-5 on cultural variations, syndromes, and idioms.
  • Meet your collaboration partner and take turns administering the CFI questions (and any needed subsections) to each other. Your partner will role-play an anxiety issue but otherwise be as true to their own situation as possible.
  • Observe how the CFI administration process goes and take any notes needed. Based on what you learn about your partner’s needs and culture, you may need to do further research in the suggested readings and library before submitting your Assignment.

By Day 7

Submit a 4-page paper, using the Diaz article as well as additional resources about culture, in which you do the following:

  • Describe the skills or techniques you used to engage your partner during the CFI.
  • Explain which aspects of the CFI were the most helpful in learning about your partner’s personal view of the problem and situation from a cultural perspective.
  • Describe the cultural components that may influence your partner.
  • Identify which relevant subsections of the CFI you used. Explain why you did (or did not) use a subsection as part of your assessment.
  • Analyze how you, as a social work treatment provider, might adjust interventions for the client, their individualized circumstances, and culture of origin.
  • Recommend a specific evidence-based measurement instrument to validate the diagnosis and assess outcomes of treatment. Explain any cultural considerations you made when determining an appropriate instrument.

Skills and techniques to engage my partner during CFI
In the CFI process, it is vital to ensure that my partner feels comfortable and opens up and
thus I have to use empathy where I put myself in their situation and imagine how it would feel
like to get a better perspective of their case to avoid being culturally biased or stereotypical.
Secondly, I have to be keen and observant to what my partner is saying as well as observing their
behavior closely to understand their mental issues from a deeper perspective. Active listening
will allow me to get a real sense of their situation from their cultural point of view and thus
recommend relevant measures.
Thirdly, I will interact with my partner by asking questions to learn more about my partner
and their situation. Also, I will seek to ensure that I remain genuine in the way I handle my
partner. This will involve ensuring consistency in my words and actions during the CFI to
provide a therapeutic experience that takes into account their cultural definition of the problem
and how they perceive the problem (Lewis-Fernández, Aggarwal, Hinton, Hinton and Kirmayer,
2015). Lastly, I will use reflections, affirmations, and rephrasing of their feedback to gain better
insight from their point of view and better understand the problem and the causative factors.
