Cultural diversity has always been a fact of life, nowhere more so than in the unique melting pot of U.S. society. Respecting and understanding that diversity are important--and challenging--goals. Culture and Psychotherapy: A Guide to Clinical Practice brings us closer to that goal by offering a fresh perspective on how to bring an understanding of cultural diversity to the practice of psychotherapy to improve outcomes for all patients.
This remarkable work presents the nuts and bolts of incorporating culture into therapy in a way that is immediately useful and practical. Illustrated by numerous case studies that demonstrate issues, techniques, and recommendations, this volume focuses not on specific race or ethnicity but instead on culture. Topics include Native American spiritual beliefs, folk healing, ethnic transference during therapy, the psychological aspects of giving and receiving medication, the severe trauma of Southeast Asian refugees, the ongoing cultural issues in psychotherapy with African, Asian, and Hispanic Americans, marital counseling for intercultural couples, and group therapy with multiethnic members.
The relevance of cultural diversity will only grow stronger in the coming years as our definition of community expands to embrace global--not just local--issues. With its balanced combination of clinical guidance and conceptual discussion highlighted by fascinating case studies, this volume authored by national and international experts, offers psychotherapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric residents, psychiatric nurses, and mental health social workers--both in the U.S. and abroad--an expansive focus and richness of content unmatched within the literature.
