Sociocultural Perspective in Practice: The Case of José
An application of the sociocultural perspective is illustrated by the case of José, an 18-year-old Hispanic male from a traditional family seeking treatment for depression. His psychological distress is connected to his identity as a gay man, which conflicts with his family's traditional values and his religious upbringing that views homosexuality as wrong. This therapeutic approach analyzes how these intersecting cultural, familial, and religious factors contribute to his symptoms and considers how they might shape his family's potential reaction to his identity.
