Abstract
This systematic literature study with qualitative methodology wants to investigate the importance of cultural competence in the therapist. The study includes both therapist and client perspectives. The study describes the relevance of matchinga and not matching between therapist and client with different cultural / ethnic backgrounds. Based on metasynthesis, the study has resulted in three themes; 1) In the therapy room in general; the importance of alliance and therapeutic skills that are independent of the client's cultural and ethnic background is emphasized. 2) In the therapy room specifically; in addition to a good alliance and therapeutic skills, cultural competence is required to be able to meet the needs of a client with a...

The results show that cultural competence contributes to a faster alliance, and relieves the client of responsibility and suffering during therapy. When the therapist lacked cultural competence, it could result in misunderstandings and avoidance of cultural areas. Future research that is desirable is how Swedish therapists experience the encounter with clients with a different cultural and ethnic background in a therapy context. (Less)
Abstract (Swedish)
Denna systematiska litteraturstudie med kvalitativ metodik vill undersöka betydelsen av kulturkompetens hos terapeuten. Studien omfattar både terapeut- och klientperspektiv. Studien beskriver relevansen av matchning respektive inte matchning mellan terapeut och klient med olika kulturell / etnisk bakgrund. Utifrån metasyntes har studien resulterat i tre huvudteman:  1) I terapirummet generellt, 2) I terapirummet specifikt, samt 3) Utanför terapirummet. I terapirummet generellt lyfts vikten av allians och terapeutiska färdigheter som är oberoende av klientens kulturella och etniska bakgrund. I terapirummet specifikt krävs utöver en bra allians och terapeutiska färdigheter även kulturkompetens för att kunna tillgodose behoven hos klient med... (More)
Denna systematiska litteraturstudie med kvalitativ metodik vill undersöka betydelsen av kulturkompetens hos terapeuten. Studien omfattar både terapeut- och klientperspektiv. Studien beskriver relevansen av matchning respektive inte matchning mellan terapeut och klient med olika kulturell / etnisk bakgrund. Utifrån metasyntes har studien resulterat i tre huvudteman:  1) I terapirummet generellt, 2) I terapirummet specifikt, samt 3) Utanför terapirummet. I terapirummet generellt lyfts vikten av allians och terapeutiska färdigheter som är oberoende av klientens kulturella och etniska bakgrund. I terapirummet specifikt krävs utöver en bra allians och terapeutiska färdigheter även kulturkompetens för att kunna tillgodose behoven hos klient med annan kulturell/etnisk bakgrund. I temat Utanför terapirummet beskrivs hur yttre faktorer från samhället, som att tillhöra en minoritet- respektive majoritet status, påverkar terapin. Resultatet visar att kulturkompetens bidrar till en snabbare allians, samt avlastar klientens ansvar och lidande under terapin. När terapeuten saknade kulturkompetens kunde det resultera i undvikande av kulturella områden och missförstånd. Forskning som är önskvärd är hur svenska terapeuter upplever mötet med klienter med en annan kulturell och etnisk bakgrund i terapisammanhang. (Less)
