The need for cultural competence and the need for evidence-based practice in mental health services are major issues in contemporary discourse, especially in the psychological treatment of people of color. Although these 2 paradigms are complementary in nature, there is little cross-fertilization in the psychological literature. The present article illustrates the complementary nature of these 2 paradigms. A main point of convergence is related to the development of culturally adapted interventions in the move from efficacy research to effectiveness studies. The implications of cultural adaptations of empirically supported treatments for mental health services in terms of research and practice with ethnic/racial minority populations are discussed.
文化胜任力的需求以及心理健康服务中循证实践的需求是当代讨论中的主要问题，尤其是在对有色人种的心理治疗方面。尽管这两种范式在本质上是互补的，但心理学文献中几乎没有相互借鉴。本文阐述了这两种范式的互补性。一个主要的交汇点与从疗效研究转向效果研究过程中文化适应干预措施的发展有关。本文还讨论了针对少数族裔/种族群体在研究和实践方面，实证支持的心理健康治疗文化适应的意义。
