Cultural Context. A number of social factors may be affecting my client. Sociocultural stressors (provided by inherent economic disadvantages, race discriminations, and the amount of crime and violence in his neighborhood) may leave Sal predisposed to develop certain mental abnormalities, such as generalized anxiety or depression. The degree to which Sal’s family copes with and supports his symptoms may also continue to affect his mental health. Labels given to those who stray from norms often perpetuate abnormal behavior (Comer 2005), and, in this respect, I would like to further investigate if Sal has had to endure direct application of such labels from his family. Also, Ozer and Weiss (2004) reported that those with great social support are less likely than those without social support to develop post-traumatic stress order after a traumatic event. Perhaps Sal’s social support system has not adequately helped him in a time of need.
