Opis

This edited collection addresses how therapy can engage with issues of race, culture, religion and spirituality. It is a response to the need for practitioners to further their understanding and skills base in developing ways of appropriately responding to the interconnectivity of these evolving issues.

Recenzje

"In Therapy, Culture and Spirituality Nolan and West bring together writings exploring the interconnectivity of culture, religion, spirituality and 'race' in the context of therapeutic practice and research. The book is a welcome addition to the increasing scholarly interest in interrogating artificial dichotomies such as 'nature'/'culture' and 'objective' science and medicine/'subjective' counselling and therapy in understanding and working with human distress." (Dr. Jayasree Kalathil, The Journal of Critical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy, Vol. 15, December, 2015)
