This concise book is an essential tool to help counsellors and psychotherapists understand and engage with the experiences of persecution, violence and exile often faced by refugees. Richard Blackwell's unique framework is based on work carried out at the Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture and Organised Violence. It offers a flexible approach to the special circumstances of displaced and traumatised clients from different cultural and political backgrounds. The author considers four levels of experience ? political, cultural, interpersonal and intrapsychic ? and explores each of these in relation to both the client and therapist. |
