In recent years, mindfulness and acceptances-based therapies
have gained immense popularity in the field of behavioral health.
And as these therapeutic models have proliferated, their teachings
and practices have been introduced to a wide range of diverse
applications. Cognitive behavioral approaches often rely on a
client's values as a catalyst for treatment. But because values are
often culturally biased, it can be difficult to apply the same
techniques to clients from different cultural and ethnic
backgrounds. That's why multicultural competency training for
mental health professionals is so important. "Mindfulness and
Acceptance in Multicultural Competency" presents a contextual
approach to sociocultural diversity in both theory and
practice.
In this book, author Akihiko Masuda examines the cultural
competency and cultural adaptation of three major therapeutic
models based in mindfulness and acceptance: dialectical behavior
therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and acceptance
and commitment therapy (ACT). Readers will learn how to translate
these treatment models to other language communities, and how to
tailor therapeutic approaches to address a number of cultural
factors, including religion and spirituality, social stigma, and
prejudice. Written for professionals, students, and practitioners,
this book offers solid data and research that shows how innovations
in acceptance and mindfulness therapies can be directed for the
health and wellness of all people, no matter their race, creed, or
cultural background. The book includes contributions by Lynn
McFarr, PhD, Holly Hazlett-Stevens, PhD, Michael P. Twohig, PhD,
Jason Lillis, PhD, Michael Levin, MA, and Jason Luoma, PhD.

was created. These edited books cover a range of evidence-based

(CFT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based
stress reduction (MBSR) therapy. Incorporating new research in the
field of psychology, these books are powerful tools for mental
health clinicians, researchers, advanced students, and anyone
interested in the growth of mindfulness and acceptance
strategies.
