Mental Health Treatment: International Classification of Disease; International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health; Looking at Guidelines more boradly

I've always been curious about how we can make therapy more culturally-competent and I wonder if using a guide like the International Classification of Mental and Behavioral Disorders OR the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health would help U.S. practitioners see mental health as other countries see mental health. It could help for cultural competency too because practitioners can look at mental health from a broader perspective focused on client experience and their individual cultural factors, instead of looking for a checklist of traits to check-off.
