Cultural psychotherapy

by Karen M Seeley

"This book provides therapists with a practical guide for treating patients from other cultures. Based on extensive clinical work with patients from many ethnic backgrounds, Dr. Karen M. Seeley shares insights on the problems of using a second language, recognizing cultural material presented in sessions, and making specific changes in clinical practice to accommodate cultural differences. New renderings of such important psychotherapeutic concepts as presenting problems, transference, and resistance are introduced. The need for a cultural approach to clinical practice is further supported by interviews conducted with foreign patients who were treated by American psychotherapists."--BOOK JACKET.
