It is evident that because of a serious lack of professional training, experience and expertise, these patients often do not receive appropriate treatment. There are numerous examples of failure to understand cultural issues - for example ignorance of traditional family structures leading to major diagnostic and therapeutic errors. These errors include beliefs with psychiatric symptons, especially psychotic symptomatology; and lack of awareness of differences in presenting symptomatology. This book identifies some of the key problems and major pitfalls of working across cultures, and explains the theories and techniques of intercultural therapy as developed by a group of specialists who have pioneered and who practise in this developing area.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49992945369361,"sku":"GOR003285890","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50794487677201,"sku":"GOR010597779","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53601208205585,"sku":"GOR004453857","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0632023252.jpg?v=1751231128"},{"product_id":"intercultural-therapy-book-jafar-kareem-9780632052240","title":"Intercultural Therapy","description":"There are many problems in working psychotherapeutically across cultures, with numerous examples of failure to understand cultural issues. For example, the ignorance of traditional family structures can lead to major diagnostic and therapeutic errors. These errors include potentially disastrous transference relationship interpretations, the confounding of traditional beliefs with psychiatric symptoms, and a lack of awareness of differences in presenting symptomology. This book explains the theories and techniques of intercultural therapy.  The second edition retains many of the ideas and practices developed in the first edition, but has been updated throughout to include the latest literature, and includes a new introductory chapter. A range of different views on intercultural therapy are given by a group of specialists who have pioneered this developing area.
