About the Book

Leach and Aten take a "start to finish" approach to incorporating culture into the treatment stages of counseling and psychotherapy. This book goes beyond the brief introduction to bridge culture and mental health theory and research with practice. Each expert author provides practical strategies, techniques, examples, and case studies highlighting the incorporation of culture at each stage of treatment, from self-awareness to the clinical intake to termination. This current and thorough volume answers the question, "How can I apply the theory and research on culture in session?"
