Description

Couple Therapy Through the Lens of Four Asian Cultures: Working with Clients from Collectivist Cultures Living in North America recognizes the distinctive therapeutic needs of Asian Americans within a collectivist cultural framework. It imparts novel insights into the relational dynamics of four Asian cultures, offering practitioners strategies to navigate the interplay between traditional collectivist values and Western individualism in a therapeutic setting.

The book provides a detailed examination of key cultural dimensions that influence therapy, including the impacts of collectivism, individualism, shame, and guilt, as well as the multifaceted process of acculturation. Emphasizing cultural competence, the book explores the complexities of real-world couple therapy and provides readers with a culturally attuned perspective.

Couple Therapy Through the Lens of Four Asian Cultures is ideal for graduate-level courses focused on cross-cultural therapy, couple and family therapy, and immigrant mental health.
