Encouraging readers to understand themselves as well as others, the 3rd edition of Culture in Clinical Care provides a holistic, ethnographically informed introduction to the role of culture within health care settings.

The book begins by discussing what culture means and how it is acquired, as well as distinguishing the cultural from the social. It then examines how cultural values, beliefs, and practices affect both clients and providers in an array of health care contexts, including hospital-based, community-based, emergency, and preventive settings. Moving beyond typical fact-centered and attitude-centered approaches to understanding culture, the book emphasizes the complexities of cultural identity, exploring how cultural interactions across individuals, groups, and organizations develop and change over time. International case studies and other interactive exercises are featured throughout, enabling readers to build a robust cultural competence as well as informing instructional strategies.
