Training as mental-health professionals is supposed to be "color blind". That sounds fine but in practice it means that people from black and ethnic groups get an unfair treatment be cause their particular problems are seldom acknowledged.
So a project was piloted involving Bangladeshi women in inner city London, most of whom migrated to the UK in the 1960s and 1970s from a rural background. Many of these, women turned to their doctors with common symptoms of anxiety, such as headaches, sleeping difficulties, loss of appetite and lack of energy. They were usually prescribed tranquillizers(镇定剂)or even Vitamin C. Since the underlying causes remained, the women visited their doctors with in creasing frequency and some were referred on to mental-health professionals.
The psychologists wanted to see how normal Western approaches to anxiety problems might work when applied across cultures. However, they found that many things in the standard approach had to be changed. They had to translate many of the usual examples -- they would normally compare learning to relax with learning to drive, for instance, which would not have been culturally appropriate. At first they asked the women to rate, on a scale one to ten, the effect of relaxation on their level of anxiety. They found numbers an odd way of expressing how they were feeling. So psychologists shifted their focus to words rand talked of five stages form "very good" to "very bad".
As it was a pilot project, there were Shortcomings. Psychologists looked for too little back up and did not collect as much objective data as they might have done with a white group. They fell into the white stereotype of assuming that Bangladeshi women would find the use of various checklists and written records foreign. Perhaps racism has conditioned the professionals to a greater extent than they expected. Psychologists found that using a Western model across cultures has potential. But it needs political, financial and personal commitment. [br] The standard approach to treating anxiety had to be changed in that ______.
选项
A、the cultural background of the women was very different from the standard one
B、the Bangladeshis were exposed to racist harassment and language difficulties
C、the Bangladeshi women asked them to change it
D、the women could not relax
答案
A
解析
事实细节题。此题可采取寻读的方法找到题干在文中的相关出处。从文章第三段第二、三句可知,心理学家发现他们不得不对标准方法进行调整,因为一些在英国常用的例子对孟加拉妇女来说在文化上不合适,即文化背景差异造成了应用困难。选项B(受到种族主义者的攻击和语言困难)和选项C属无中生有,随意猜测;选项D(她们无法放松)是这些妇女的病症,与题干问的“要改变治疗焦虑症的传统方法的原因”无关。
