Much attention has been given to cultural sensitivity within the mental health counseling literature. Deafness has been discussed in the disability literature, but there is little mention of deafness in a cultural context. Consequently, counselors may not be providing culturally sensitive services to their deaf clients. The authors provide an overview of the Deaf culture, describe the unique communication needs of deaf clients, and offer a description of culturally embedded behaviors that are relevant to counseling. Se ha prestado mucha atención a la sensibilidad cultural en las publicaciones de consejería en salud mental. Se ha tratado el tema de la sordera en las publicaciones sobre discapacidades, pero apenas se menciona la sordera en un contexto cultural. Como consecuencia, es posible que los consejeros no estén proporcionando servicios culturalmente sensibles a sus clientes con sordera. Los autores proporcionan un resumen general de la cultura de la comunidad sorda, describen la combinación única de necesidades de comunicación de los clientes con sordera y ofrecen una descripción de comportamientos culturalmente arraigados que son relevantes para la consejería.
