Social workers need to be able to identify cultural conceptions of
illness and mental illness. Because studies show that anxiety and
depression differ from culture to culture and within cultures, it is
important to build skill using the Cultural Formulation Interview
(CFI) to elicit how an individual has actually incorporated their
cultural beliefs. While the core interview is a set of 16 questions,
more detailed versions expand on each area. In this Assignment, you
sensitively apply the CFI to your case collaboration partner as well
as research how to address and individualize anxiety resources for your partner’s culture and needs.
