For consulting psychologists who work with organizations and systems and at the individual and team levels, this guide details the skills needed for dealing with cultural differences in sociocultural settings around the world. The authors discuss the need for transcultural competence and outline a framework for understanding and applying culture that involves identifying prerequisites, using appropriate conceptual frameworks for making culture operational, and developing methods for collecting and analyzing data with minimal biases. They address ways of recognizing, reconciling, and realizing cultural differences, and discuss professional disciplines as cultures, applications of transcultural competence in social institutions, and recognizing and avoiding cultural traps.
