Culture, Psychotherapy, and Counseling: Critical and Integrative Perspectives

by Lisa L. Tsoi Hoshmand

Culture, Psychotherapy, and Critical and Integrative Perspectives takes a comprehensive approach to culture as it relates to psychological practice. By viewing psychotherapy and counseling as science-based cultural enterprises, this book expands the understanding of culture in terms of the politics of identity, symbolic and practice meanings, moral ontology, and global realities. Editor Lisa Tsoi Hoshmand brings together a diverse group of authors to present different accounts and case examples of their work as practitioners to illustrate the integration of the personal with the professional.

This is a useful complement to more theoretical works, in that it provides context based on lived experiences. I got it out of the library to read William Rezentes' chapter on Hawaiian Psychology, which was interesting and informative. I also read the following chapter 'Toward a Feminist Ecological Awareness', which was also enjoyable.
