Summary:

In this video, Drs. Anu Asnaani and Pamela Hays discuss the ADDRESSING framework, which identifies multicultural factors to attend to in therapy. ADDRESSING stands for the following: Age and generational influences, Developmental or other Disability, Religion and spiritual orientation, Ethnic and racial identity, Socioeconomic status, Sexual orientation, Indigenous heritage, National origin, and Gender. Dr. Hays talks through each part of the framework as well as some of the research supporting its use. Following a discussion, they watch a session Dr. Hays conducts with a client, Lucia, who presents with panic attacks. Dr. Hays spends most of the session assessing the client's experiences through the lens of the ADDRESSING framework, often indirectly gathering information. Following assessment, Dr. Hays helps the client identify a potential focus for the remainder of the session, first pointing out two areas of change--behavioral and cognitive. Dr. Hays explores the client's relationship with her mother, specifically around the client's sexual orientation and new romantic relationship after her divorce, pointing out the potential importance of cultivating a compassionate way of relating to herself in the face of internalized and external stigma. Finally, in wrapping up the session, Dr. Hays helps the client identify something she can work on in between sessions. In the end discussion, Dr. Hays notes how the ADDRESSING framework allowed her to assess Lucia's concerns about panic attacks in a way that encompassed her varied life experiences and identities, in contrast with an approach that may consider the panic symptoms in a more isolated manner. She also points out the way that the ADDRESSING framework adds a cultural strengths perspective to the strengths perspective inherent in cognitive behavioral therapy approaches.The demonstration in this video features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of a composite of cases
