After reading Ridley, Chih, and Olivera (2000) Training in cultural schemas: An antidote to unintentional racism in clinical practice. American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, 70(1), 65-72.

Base on the scenario below Which of Ridley's process variables could be at play here? As the supervisor of this therapist, how might you intervene, and why?

A therapist conducts an intake interview with a 20-year-old Black man named George who seems nervous and uncomfortable being asked so many questions. He answers them, but seems anxious and irritated at times and expresses concerns about the one-way mirror in the therapy room and who might be behind it. The therapist concludes that the prospective client is showing symptoms of paranoia, anxiety, and hostility, and considers a diagnosis of a personality disorder, schizoaffective disorder, or schizophrenia. As the clinical supervisor, you ask the therapist to consider sociocultural context and to apply cultural schemas to the diagnostic process.
