Answer to Question 1

Ethnic-sensitive practice seeks to incorporate understanding of diverse ethnic, cultural, and minority groups into the theories and principles that guide social work practice. It is based on the view that practice must be attuned to the values and dispositions related to clients' ethnic group membership and social class position. Ethnic-sensitive practice requires that social workers have an in-depth understanding of the effects of oppression on racial and ethnic groups.
Ethnic-sensitive practice requires that social workers be aware of and seek to redress the oppression experienced by ethnic groups. It assumes that each ethnic group and its members have a history with roots in the past that have a bearing on the members' perceptions of current problems. It, however, assumes the present is most important. Ethnic-sensitive practice introduces no new practice principles or approaches. Instead, it urges the adaptation of prevailing therapies, social work principles, and skills to take account of ethnic reality.
