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.
