This study examined the association between cultural mistrust and beliefs about white mental health clinicians among African-American patients recently admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Self-report and clinician-rated measures of cultural mistrust predicted patients' beliefs about white mental health clinicians. Implications for mental health services to African Americans are discussed.
