Synopsis Addressing Cultural Complexities in Counseling and Clinical Practice by : Pamela A. Hays

Hays' popular bestseller invites readers to move beyond a one-dimensional view of identity to a nuanced understanding of the overlapping cultural influences that affect us all. This fourth edition features new chapters featuring culturally adapted cognitive behavioral tools and techniques, and trauma due to racism and other systemic forms of oppression. It remains richly illustrated with case material, with many new vignettes and examples demonstrating the ADDRESSING framework in both counseling and clinical practice. Other new material includes updated discussion of gender identity, with attention to clinically relevant research regarding transgender and nonbinary people, more on people with disabilities (the largest minority group in the U.S.), the latest terminology and language regarding diverse minority groups, and a special section on social justice and its relationship to therapeutic practice. In an increasingly diverse society, mental health providers must be able to work effectively with a wide variety of clients. The ADDRESSING framework shows clinicians and counselors how to take into account age and generational influences, developmental or other disabilities, religion and spirituality, ethnic and racial identity, Indigenous heritage, national origin, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, and gender. Each chapter includes Key Ideas summaries and practice exercises, making this book ideal for personal education or group use.

Synopsis Cultural Psychotherapy by : Martin La Roche

Written by a leading expert in the field of culturally competent psychotherapeutic practice, this book presents an integrated psychotherapeutic framework designed to help students and practitioners understand, investigate and treat clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. La Roche introduces a logical theoretical model that takes into account the influence of sociopolitical, economic and cultural processes within the psychotherapeutic process. Using a three-phased psychotherapeutic model with specific clinical recommendations and suggestions for each phase, the book explores complex clinical cases that illustrate in detail each phase. Unique in its approach to and definition of the concept of cultural diversity, Cultural Psychotherapy expands the traditional ethnicity/race model to a model that examines individuals and groups according to a broader set of variables. In other words, the key to enhancing our understanding of our clients is to take into account the rich and dynamic context in which their lives develop and evolve.

Synopsis Addressing Cultural Complexities in Practice by : Pamela A. Hays

This book addresses the multiplicity of cultural influences that work to form each of us. The true experience of identity is complex and contextual. A person is not simply Latino or gay. Asian American or a person with a disability, an older American or a refugee. Rather, one or any combination of these identities may be salient for a particular individual in a given context. The author offers this book as a framework for recognizing and working with cultural influences--helping readers understand identity as a multidimensional combination of age, developmental and acquired disabilities, religion, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, indigenous heritage, national origin, and gender. /// Engagingly written and featuring a variety of case examples, this book combines the latest research with vignettes from the author's own practice. Each chapter's contents are summarized in "key ideas" tables, which facilitates use of the guidelines in the classroom as well as in the clinic. This book provides a framework that can be used with a person of any cultural identity. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved).
