Description
Multicultural Care offers a comprehensive, practical approach for enhancing a clinician's understanding of clients’ contexts, developing a multicultural therapeutic relationship, and adapting a healing approach to one's clients’ needs. Each chapter demonstrates the application of cultural competence to a different aspect of clinical practice: self-awareness, assessment, engagement, treatment, psychopharmacology and testing, folk healing, and general multicultural consciousness.
Ample clinical vignettes are provided, along with clear, easy-to-remember tools for integrating multicultural sensitivity into clinical practice. Importantly, the book draws on research and the APA Multicultural Guidelines to support the models and principles, which are illustrated with clinical material.
This book is a must-read for all clinicians.
