Opis

This book moves the issues of culture, race and equity into the centre of psychotherapeutic practice, including that which involves therapeutic encounters across culture, racial and ethnic divides. It develops an approach to cultural transference and demonstrates that thinking about culture, race and ethnicity does not belong at the margin. A number of well-known thinkers and practitioners in the systemic field engage with these issues in the therapeutic relationship. The therapeutic relationship is increasingly becoming a central topic in systemic psychotherapy and cross-cultural thinking. By asking experienced systemic psychotherapist to offer their reflections and thoughts on this topic, the book has four aims: 1) to develop this area of systemic practice; 2) to place culture squarely at the centre of all systemic psychotherapy practice as a model for all psychotherapy practice; 3) to encourage both trainees and experienced systemic psychotherapists to pay attention to race, culture and ethnicity as issues in their own and their clients' identities and 4) to inform researchers who use qualitative research techniques such as ethnography.
