Abstract
This study investigated ways Chinese healers adapted their clinical practices to be culturally sensitive to Chinese beliefs and values and explored what culturally adapted approaches were helpful in the therapy process. Participants (N = 10) were recruited from six different states in the United States. Two males and eight females participated in the study. All of them identified as Chinese who were US-licensed psychologists and practiced Chinese healing for at least five years. They were all practicing across five different mental health settings. A semi-structured interview protocol was used to interview participants and Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR) methodology was implemented to analyze data. Two domains emerged from the data analysis: (a) culturally adapted psychotherapy and (b) indigenous beliefs and values. Clinical implications of the study and future research are discussed.
