Originally published in 1991, this landmark guide gave brilliant
insights on dealing with the cultural aspects of family mental
health. It systematically reviews various dimensions of the family
from a cross-cultural perspective, including system, development,
behaviour, and functioning. It then thoroughly examines the
problems and dysfunctions that can occur in families of different
cultural backgrounds, and finally proposes culturally appropriate
assessments and treatments for resolving these family problems.
Family counsellors, therapists, and researchers who study the
family will find practical suggestions on how to assess and
evaluate the family with cultural considerations; clinical
suggestions on providing culturally relevant, effective care of the
family; and theoretical elaboration on the cultural implications of
family therapy. Instead of focusing on families of a particular
ethnic or cultural background, the book gives comprehensive
coverage to subjects that related to cultural aspects of the family
function, problems, and therapy. The authors' unique backgrounds,
which include analysis of the cross-cultural aspects of human
behaviour, knowledge in family research, and clinical experience in
family therapy, add immeasurably to this book's important
contribution.

the various psychiatric disorders to intensive analysis and
discussion of how to perform forensic psychiatric practice in a

Increasingly, psychologists are becoming aware of sensitivity needs
with respect to treating patients from differing cultures. Culture
can play an important role both in what a patient discloses about
themselves, how likely they are to follow a therapist's advice, and
whether specific therapies are likely to be effective for them.
Following on the heels of Tseng's "Handbook of Cultural Psychiatry"
comes this "Clinical Application of Cultural Psychiatry."
This more concise book focuses on information most relevant to
treating patients. The book discusses how culture plays a role in
specific disorders (depression, anxiety, eating and sexual
disorders, substance abuse, schizophrenia, etc.). relevant
sensitivities to keep in mind in treating specific patient
populations (age groups, differing religions, and differing
ethnicity's).

This volume brings to light the impact of Asian culture on
psychotherapy. Scholars and clinicians from East Asia and India go
beyond technical dimensions to examine culture and psychotherapy at
the theoretical and philosophical levels. An overview, invaluable
for understanding some of the nuances of Asian culture, is followed
by chapters on Asian personality and psychopathology, Asian
psychology (in particular parent-child relations), the impact of
Asian traditional thought and philosophy on psychotherapy, the
unique psychotherapeutic approach of Asian culture, and
psychotherapeutic experiences from various parts of Asia.
