Culture and Psychotherapy: Theory and Applications – A World Perspective

Psychotherapy is informed and enriched by the therapist’s knowledge of different cultural perspectives. In order to provide suitable psychotherapy, the therapist needs to consider the cultural dimensions of patients, as well as their biological and psychological dimensions. This book examines culture and psychotherapy from a worldwide perspective, so that the basic nature of human beings can be examined and, at the same time, the possible cultural variations that exist among them can be elaborated for more meaningful comparisons and understanding. Authored solely by Wen-Shing Tseng, this book deals with the concepts, knowledge, theory, and actual clinical application of culture-competent psychotherapy.
