Suppose you have gained knowledge of the ve groups of cultural factors listed above. Will this allow you to better understand your patient who has a dierent cultural background? Undoubtedly it will improve your understanding to some extent, but will this improvement be large enough to make the qualitative “leap” from non-understanding to understanding?

Discuss the dierence between knowledge and understanding. Does it require something else, in addition to a knowledge of cultural context, to understand your client’s mental problem? If it does, what is required exactly?

It could be useful to conduct research online to explore the dierence between two theories: epistemology

(theory of knowledge) and hermeneutics (theory of understanding). How are they dierent?
