The first book to offer a truly global perspective on the theory
and practice of clinical psychology While clinical psychology is
practiced the world over, up to now there has been no text devoted
to examining it within a global context. The first book of its
kind, Clinical Psychology: A Global Perspective brings together
contributions from clinicians and scholars around the world to
share their insights and observations on the theory and practice of
clinical psychology. Due partly to language barriers and entrenched
cultural biases, there is little cultural cross-pollination within
the field of clinical psychology. In fact, most of the popular
texts were written for English-speaking European and Anglo-American
audiences and translated for other countries. As a result, most
psychologists are unaware of how their profession is conceptualized
and practiced in different regions, or how their own practices can
be enriched by knowledge of the theories and modalities predominant
among colleagues in other parts of the world. This book represents
an important first step toward rectifying that state of affairs.
Explores key differences and similarities in how clinical
psychology is conceptualized and practiced with children,
adolescents and adults across different countries and cultures
Addresses essential research methods, clinical interviews,
psychometric testing, neuropsychological assessments, and dominant
treatment modalities Follows a consistent format with each chapter
focusing on a specific area of the practice of clinical psychology
while integrating cultural issues within the discussion Includes
coverage of how to adapt one's practice to the differing cultures
of individual clients, and how to work in multidisciplinary teams
within a global context Clinical Psychology: A Global Perspective
is a valuable resource for students, trainees, and practicing
psychologists, especially those who work with ethnic minority
groups or with interpreters. It is also a must-read for
practitioners who are considering working internationally.
