Description
Increasingly, psychologists are becoming aware of sensitivity needs with respect to treating patients from differing cultures. Culture
can play an important role both in what a patient discloses about themselves, how likely they are to follow a therapist's advice, and
whether specific therapies are likely to be effective for them. Following on the heels of Tseng's "Handbook of Cultural Psychiatry" comes
this "Clinical Application of Cultural Psychiatry."
This more concise book focuses on information most relevant to treating patients.
The book discusses how culture plays a role in specific disorders (depression, anxiety, eating and sexual disorders, substance abuse,
schizophrenia, etc.). relevant sensitivities to keep in mind in treating specific patient populations (age groups, differing religions,
and differing ethnicity's).
Audience
Clinicians in private and group practice.
