Counselling and Therapeutic Interventions with Multicultural Populations in the West

Beschreibung

This textbook is an effort to bring together the current practices, values, attitudes and beliefs about counselling and therapeutic interventions in multicultural populations in Western countries. Although there has been an increased effort to understand the role of culture in counselling practice and therapeutic interventions, there is a dearth of research/ literature on multicultural populations outside the United States. To redress this, this book compares counselling and therapeutic models and practice with multicultural populations across different Western countries, highlighting the issues and challenges of therapeutic approaches and counselling theory and practice with minorities and sometimes governmental/political considerations in these countries. It explores the way forward regarding service delivery for the mental health of minorities in Western countries and the counselling and therapy they receive. The book is unique as it serves to share knowledge so that insights drawn from one country can be shared across all Western countries, as well as across the globe.
