Working Inter-Culturally in Counselling Settings

What does it mean to work inter-culturally? Our multi-cultural society is changing the parameters of counselling. Working Inter-Culturally in Counselling Settings explores how racial issues can be recognised and worked within a practical, clinical setting. The book looks at how the counselling setting can influence practice, and the book includes chapters in a range of settings, including: * counselling training and supervision * social work * the probation service and prisons * setting up counselling services in culturally diverse communities. Aisha Dupont-Joshua, together with contributors of diverse cultural heritage, moves away from exclusive white models of thought, and adopts more of a world view, inclusive of cultural difference. Working Inter-Culturally in Counselling Settings will be invaluable for counsellors, trainers, supervisors and other mental health professionals.

Aisha Dupont-Joshua, originally from South Africa, is an inter-cultural therapist and trainer, teaching at Lambeth College, London and Southampton University. She has written extensively in the BACP Counselling Journal and has been editor of the RACE Multicultural Journal.
