  • Title: Addressing the effects of culture on the boundary-keeping practices of psychiatry residents educated outside of the United States.
    Author: Myers GE.
    Journal: Acad Psychiatry; 2004; 28(1):47-55. PubMed ID: 15140808.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The author sought to develop a curriculum for international medical graduate (IMG) psychiatry residents that addresses their culture-based deviations from normative boundary-keeping practices common to U.S.-based psychotherapy practices. METHODS: A group consisting of 12 IMG psychiatry residents and one United States graduate (USG) participated in a curriculum consisting of eight monthly, 1-hour seminars. An eight-item, Likert-type 7-point scale, post-then-pre questionnaire assessed the instructional impact of the curriculum. RESULTS: Responses indicated that participation in the curriculum significantly increased the IMG residents' levels of confidence with respect to boundary theory and practice. CONCLUSION: International medical graduates confidence levels regarding psychotherapeutic boundaries can be significantly increased through participation in a curriculum that addresses cultural differences.
