When Ernie stated that, "I also must not be closed-minded to new ideas and possibilities for each client I work with on how to best approach and treat them," - does that necessarily mean that one's own personal values might become compromised? For example, in our society, the "power" in the family is assumed to be either with the client's spouse, or with the eldest male in the family. Some cultures within our society are very matriarchal, however, with the eldest female in the family holding the greatest power. If working with a person from this particular matriarchal culture, the therapist who understands this dynamic will get the client's grandmother involved, if possible, rather than the client's father, uncle, brother or spouse. Without being open to this possibility, however, a culture-bound therapist might miss a valuable opportunity to help the client. What are your thoughts about this?
