There are many problems in working psychotherapeutically across
cultures, with numerous examples of failure to understand cultural
issues. For example, the ignorance of traditional family structures
can lead to major diagnostic and therapeutic errors. These errors
include potentially disastrous transference relationship
interpretations, the confounding of traditional beliefs with
psychiatric symptoms, and a lack of awareness of differences in
presenting symptomology. This book explains the theories and
techniques of intercultural therapy.
The second edition retains many of the ideas and practices
developed in the first edition, but has been updated throughout to
include the latest literature, and includes a new introductory
chapter. A range of different views on intercultural therapy are
given by a group of specialists who have pioneered this developing
area.
