Abstract

The under-utilisation of mental health services amongst Chinese people is a well-known fact. This article describes a case study using a Western therapy model, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), with a Chinese client. A CBT model, modified for working with Chinese clients, is depicted with reference to Chinese practices and behaviours, and this is then applied to a case study with an elderly Chinese woman. CBT was shown to be useful with this Chinese client. Challenges to the use of CBT with Chinese people are discussed with implications for clinicians working in this area.
