""With its diversity throughout including almost 40 authors from
different therapeutic modalities, continents and professional
fields the book indeed is both an 'invitation and challenge' and a
means 'to aid transcultural therapists in conducting their work in
a sensitive and informed manner'. It brings to mind a colourful and
well stocked market comprising two parts. The first provides
nourishing food for practitioners such as contributions to theory,
use of interpreters, training, supervision, research and case
studies. The second offers an outstanding exploration of the impact
of different cultural backgrounds orchestrated by the editor, whose
compilation from a UK perspective might be a useful example for
other cultural and language areas. The involved reader will be
delighted to have this inspiring handbook to hand."
Gerhard Stumm, Ph.D., psychotherapy trainer, Vienna
"Therapists pride themselves on cherishing the uniqueness of
every client. This book offers a powerful challenge for it plainly
demonstrates that a commitment to honouring uniqueness cannot be
divorced from a sensitivity to the cultural, racial, spiritual and
ethnic differences that clients present in an increasingly
multicultural society. Here is an impressive compendium that
illuminates the many clinical, training, relational and supervisory
issues involved together with the widest range of contributions
from diverse cultures that I have ever encountered in one volume.
Colin Lago is to be congratulated on editing an invaluable resource
which is both stimulating and disturbing in its
implications."
Brian Thorne, Emeritus Professor of Counselling, University of
East Anglia and Co-founder of The Norwich Centre"
This fascinating book examines recent critical thinking and
contemporary research findings in the field of transcultural
counselling and psychotherapy. It also explores the effects of
different cultural heritages upon potential clients and
therapists.
The first part of the book reflects the curriculum, context and
content of counselling and psychotherapy training courses, with
regards to sensitivity to diversity. It covers key issues such as:
Implications of identity development for therapeutic work Ethnic
matching of clients and therapists Working with interpreters and
bi-cultural workers Overcoming racism, discrimination and
oppression within the counselling process An overview of current
research within this field In the second part, the authors give
personal accounts that explore the impact of cultural heritage on
people who have moved from their countries of origin to 'Western'
countries, such as the UK or the USA.
"The Handbook of Transcultural Counselling and Psychotherapy"
will be of immense value to a wide range of readers, including
counselling and therapy practitioners, supervisors, trainees,
agency managers and colleagues in other therapy-related
services.
