Beskrivelse
Should culture play a central role in counseling? What are the advantages of making culture central in the counseling process? Can culture-centered counseling strengthen the field of counseling? Taking an active approach to breaking down cultural barriers, Culture-Centered Counseling Interventions recognizes culture as a barrier and brings a true understanding of culture into the therapeutic context. Author Paul B. Pedersen emphasizes that once counselors truly understand the culture of their patients, cultural understanding can be used as a tool of accuracy-indispensable to the practice of good counseling. In this practical guide, the culture-centered process is modeled as a principal dimension in counseling. Exercises and applications are included in each chapter of the book, clearly demonstrating how the course might be taught. In addition, thought-provoking "culture notes" are interspersed throughout the text and provide the reader with helpful insights and challenges. Introducing the reader to specific ways of making culture central to counseling, Culture-Centered Counseling Interventions is the ideal resource for courses in clinical and counseling psychology, multicultural and cross-cultural psychology, social work, and nursing.
