ABSTRACT

A cultural humility framework – first proposed within the medical and nursing fields – aligns with collaborative, intersubjective, and anti-oppressive models of social work practice. It challenges practitioners to continually explore our own social location and how our identities shape beliefs regarding what is “normal,” “healthy,” or “right.” It asks us to de-center our own knowledge in favor of prioritizing the clients’ experience and urges ongoing vigilance to power imbalances and the impact of systems on both client and practitioner. This article provides a literature review of cultural humility, a conceptual framework, discussion of its differentiation from cultural competence, and suggestions for its implementation in social work practice.

摘要

文化谦逊框架——首次在医疗和护理领域提出——与社会工作实践的协作、主体间和反压迫模式相一致。它挑战从业者不断探索我们自己的社会地位以及我们的身份如何塑造关于“正常”、“健康”或“正确”的信念。它要求我们去中心化我们自己的知识，以优先考虑客户的经验，并敦促我们对权力不平衡以及系统对客户和从业者的影响保持警惕。本文提供了文化谦逊的文献综述、概念框架、其与文化能力差异的讨论，以及其在社会工作实践中的实施建议。
