What is multicultural psychotherapy?
How do
we integrate issues of gender, class and sexual
orientation in multicultural psychotherapy?
Race,
Culture and Psychotherapy provides a thorough
critical examination of contemporary multiculturalism
and culturalism, including discussion of the full range
of issues, debates and controversies that are emerging
in the field of multicultural
psychotherapy.
Beginning with a general critique of
race, culture and ethnicity, the book explores issues
such as the notion of interiority and exteriority in
psychotherapy, racism in the clinical room, race and
countertransference conflicts, spirituality and
traditional healing issues. Contributors from the United
States, Britain and Canada draw on their professional
experience to provide comprehensive and balanced
coverage of the following subjects:
- critical perspectives in race and culture in
psychotherapy
- governing race in the transference
- racism, ethnicity and countertransference
- intersecting gender, race, class and sexual
orientation
- spirituality, cultural healing and psychotherapy
- future directions
Race, Culture
and Psychotherapy will be of interest not only to
practicing psychotherapists, but also to students and
researchers in the field of mental health and anyone
interested in gaining a better understanding of
psychotherapy in a multicultural society.
