Beskrivning

In a world that is forever fragmenting into divisions of ethnicity and class, this groundbreaking book offers an approach to therapy that reaches across the boundaries that usually divide us. Reaffirming psychotherapy's roots in a progressive approach to social change, the contributors show how contemporary methods can be used to treat patients often previously thought unresponsive to psychodynamic therapy. Cultural values, countertransference guilt, immigration, bilingualism, and battered self-esteem in African-American patients are among the many topics discussed. Numerous examples guide the clinician to a better understanding of the role of culture in the therapeutic relationship.

Recensioner i media

This book is long overdue. It brings to the forefront the need to have a transcultural perspective in doing psychodynamic therapy. The authors demonstrate that the self-understanding offered through psychodynamic therapy is indeed accessible when practiced by culturally informed practitioners. All psychotherapists who practice in our multicultural society should read this book.
