This widely used clinical reference and text has now been fully revised and expanded, providing the latest knowledge on culturally sensitive practice with families and individuals from over 40 different ethnic groups. Each chapter demonstrates how ethnocultural factors may influence the assumptions of both clients and therapists, the issues people bring to the clinical context, and their resources for coping and problem solving. Updated throughout with essential new material, the third edition includes chapters on several additional groups. An indispensable new appendix offers a concise guide to weaving cultural information into assessment and intervention planning.
While the book is addressed to family therapists, the history, culture, and background in each chapter can be appreciated by anyone....[Its] combination of quality presentation and accessibility...will attract diverse readers, regardless of their level of training or experience with diverse clients.
