Opis

Councelling in a Multicultural Society is the first title to address cultural issues as they relate to counselling and psychotherapeutic situations. Sensitizing readers to the cultural and racial setting in which counselling occurs, the book aims to raise awareness of the specific counselling needs of those from differing cultural and racial backgrounds. This is done by: providing a detailed account of the salient value systems of Western and non-Western cultures - exploring the impact of culture on identity and of cultural differences on interaction - discussing how to take account of client's cultural context - and taking a practical approach to assessing possible frameworks for transcultural, culture-centered and multi-modal models of counselling in the West.
