This innovative book provides therapists with a practical guide for treating patients from other cultures. Basing her material on extensive clinical work with patients from many ethnic backgrounds, Dr. 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. This is a timely and well-conceived model of psychotherapy that enhances cross-cultural clinical work.

"One of the few [books] that successfully combines anthropological and psychological perspectives on clinical work. . . . It is written in plain language for psychotherapy practitioners at all levels of training." - Journal Of Transcultural Psychiatry, (39) 1
