Publisher Description: Towards a Global and Cultural Psychotherapy: Theoretical Foundations and Clinical Implications provides readers with an integrated framework to understand and treat the rapidly growing number of culturally diverse clients across the globe. The book explores and builds upon an emergent cultural paradigm that posits that individuals are unknowable without an understanding of their global and cultural context. Readers learn the conceptual underpinnings of this cultural paradigm, as well as its psychotherapeutic and sociopolitical implications. Martin J. La Roche, Ph.D., has served as Director of Mental Health Training at the Boston Children's Hospital at Martha Eliot, the oldest community health center in the country, since 1996. He is an associate professor of psychology at the Harvard Medical School at the Boston Children's Hospital and specializes in the development of culturally competent psychotherapeutic services. Dr. La Roche has served as the principal or co-principal investigator on many research projects in which he has continued to refine intervention psychotherapeutic strategies. He has published numerous peer-reviewed publications and presented extensively throughout the U.S and around the world. |
