Description

The editors (both are faculty members of the Cultural Psychiatry Study Group at the U. of Hawaii School of Medicine) provide an overview of the cultural aspects of psychotherapy as an introduction to the 16 papers that follow, all by psychiatrists. The different cultures considered include Asian American, Native American, African American, Hispanic American, and European American, with individual chapters on medication, ethnic transference in therapy, the severe trauma of Southeast Asian refugees, marital counseling for intercultural couples, and group therapy with multiethnic members.
