Tóm tắt

Lĩnh vực liệu pháp hôn nhân và gia đình đang phải đối mặt với một yêu cầu ngày càng tăng để phục vụ các nhóm dân cư thiệt thòi trong lịch sử. Người Mỹ gốc Phi là một ví dụ điển hình về một nhóm thiểu số tại Hoa Kỳ hiện vẫn đang bị bỏ qua bởi hệ thống sức khỏe tâm thần hiện tại. Chúng tôi tích hợp mô hình chính sách công về việc sử dụng dịch vụ sức khỏe của Andersen (1995, Tạp chí Hành vi Sức khỏe và Xã hội, 36, 1–10) với việc sửa đổi mô hình dịch vụ sức khỏe tâm thần de facto khu vực nông thôn của Fox et al. (1995, Tạp chí Chăm sóc sức khỏe cho Người nghèo và Thiệt thòi, 6, 434–468) để phát triển một khung tiếp cận toàn diện và nhạy cảm với văn hóa hơn, nhằm làm nổi bật các yếu tố quan trọng ảnh hưởng đến việc người Mỹ gốc Phi tham gia vào và gắn bó với liệu pháp. Các khuyến nghị nhằm vượt qua các rào cản và gợi ý cho nghiên cứu trong tương lai được trình bày.
