Training as mental-health professionals is supposed to be "color blind". That sounds fine but in practice it means that people from black and ethnic groups get an unfair treatment be cause their particular problems are seldom acknowledged.
So a project was piloted involving Bangladeshi women in inner city London, most of whom migrated to the UK in the 1960s and 1970s from a rural background. Many of these, women turned to their doctors with common symptoms of anxiety, such as headaches, sleeping difficulties, loss of appetite and lack of energy. They were usually prescribed tranquillizers(镇定剂)or even Vitamin C. Since the underlying causes remained, the women visited their doctors with in creasing frequency and some were referred on to mental-health professionals.
The psychologists wanted to see how normal Western approaches to anxiety problems might work when applied across cultures. However, they found that many things in the standard approach had to be changed. They had to translate many of the usual examples -- they would normally compare learning to relax with learning to drive, for instance, which would not have been culturally appropriate. At first they asked the women to rate, on a scale one to ten, the effect of relaxation on their level of anxiety. They found numbers an odd way of expressing how they were feeling. So psychologists shifted their focus to words rand talked of five stages form "very good" to "very bad".
As it was a pilot project, there were Shortcomings. Psychologists looked for too little back up and did not collect as much objective data as they might have done with a white group. They fell into the white stereotype of assuming that Bangladeshi women would find the use of various checklists and written records foreign. Perhaps racism has conditioned the professionals to a greater extent than they expected. Psychologists found that using a Western model across cultures has potential. But it needs political, financial and personal commitment.
What has led to the failure of the mental-health professionals’ collecting sufficient data?
选项
A、They fall into stereotypes resulted from the influence of racism.
B、They have language problems while communicating with the women.
C、They want to protect the women from racism.
D、Bangladeshi women do not want to tell the psychologists their feelings.
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。可采取寻读的方法找到相关信息出处。对试验不足的总结是文章最后一段提到的内容。该段第三句指出,没有收集到充分客观数据的原因是白人心理学家陷入了对有色人群的成见,而这种成见是因为他们潜意识中受了种族主义的影响造成的,选项A是第三、四句内容的改写。原文最后一段提到试验的缺点时,没有提到选项B所说的语言交流方面存在的困难;也没有说到心理学家想保护这些妇女不受种族主义的困扰,事实上他们自己都不自觉地受到了影响,故选项C与原文不符;文章也没有提到问题是由于这些妇女不配合造成的,选项D也与原文不符。
