Race Culture & Counsel

by Lago

"Therapists are inevitably affected by their own backgrounds, experiences and prejudices, which may manifest negatively within therapeutic relationships with clients of different cultural, racial and ethnic backgrounds to their own. This book strives to explore these areas of challenge to successful therapy and to raise awareness of the many facets that may impact upon the relationship." Race, Culture and Counselling provides key reading for students, therapists, supervisors and teachers of therapists as well as students and professionals in allied professions such as social work, nursing, medicine and teaching.

It's fair to say that the issues of race and culture have started to be become more of a part of counsellor training in Britain since this book was written. However, it still offers a detailed look at race and culture within the counselling practice; not just about educating the counsellor about the nuances and customs of different cultures, but also its impact on the wider relationship of counsellors and their supervisors.
