Transcultural Psychiatry Cultural Formulation Interviewer
Psychiatrists and psychologists working with culturally and linguistically diverse patients need to conduct a structured Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI) based on DSM-5 Appendix standards to understand how culture shapes the patient's experience of illness, help-seeking, and expectations of treatment before beginning standard assessment. This agent prepares a structured CFI session guide and synthesises responses into a cultural formulation.
