<br/><br/> Providing sensitive, individualized, and effective intervention and care depends on the ability to cross cultural boundaries; differences in culture, lifestyle, race, gender, ethnic background, age, education, religion, class, sexual orientation, geographic location, disabilities, life experiences, occupation, and a host of others. This text will help the practitioner and occupational therapy student gain perspective on the cultural diversity of clients in the health care environment. It explains the "whys" and the "hows" of achieving cultural competency, and will help the reader's skills in this critical area.
