Question 2

Describe therapeutic class bias.

Accepted Answer

Considerable bias against people who are poor has been well documented (American Psychological Association,Task Force on Socioeconomic Status,2007; Smith,2013) . In the area of diagnosis,it has been found that an attribution of mental illness is more likely when the person's history suggested a lower rather than higher socioeconomic class origin (Liu et al.,2006) . The class-bound nature of mental health practice emphasizes the importance of assisting the client in self-direction through the results of assessment instruments and through self-exploration via verbal interactions between client and therapist. However,the assumptions underlying these activities are permeated by middle-class values that do not always apply to life in poverty. In an extensive historic research of services delivered to minorities and low socioeconomic clients,Lorion (1973) found that psychiatrists refer to therapy those persons who are most like themselves-White rather than non-White and from upper socioeconomic status.
