"In Therapy, Culture and Spirituality Nolan and West bring together writings exploring the interconnectivity of culture, religion, spirituality and 'race' in the context of therapeutic practice and research. The book is a welcome addition to the increasing scholarly interest in interrogating artificial dichotomies such as 'nature'/'culture' and 'objective' science and medicine/'subjective' counselling and therapy in understanding and working with human distress." (Dr. Jayasree Kalathil, The Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy, Vol. 15, December, 2015)
