Now in its tertiary edition, Ethnicity and Family Therapy remains one of the essential textbooks for developing cultural competence in clinical practise. Different any other single book in the field, its 54 chapters provide the well-nigh comprehensive description of civilization-related family problems relevant to mental health and wellness care. At the same time, this volume wisely teaches the states that our understanding of these cultural patterns must comprise not but ethnicity, just also gender, socioeconomic condition, geography, religion, race, and politics, among other factors. A 'must-accept' tour de forcefulness for seasoned professionals and trainees alike.--Francis G.

Ethnicity is part of the lived feel of each of u.s. every day, whether in the foods we like, our ways of expressing affection, religious and political views, gender roles, taboos and expectations, and and then much more.

I accept used Ethnicity and Family Therapy as a text for 12+ years in my principal'due south-level Cantankerous-Cultural Counseling class. I have been impressed with the various editions of the text as a compendium of information regarding a broad cross-section of the man family unit. I take particularly enjoyed the increasing expansion of coverage, both inside broad ethnic groups and across groups. This breadth deepens my students' comprehension of the richness of human diversity and mitigates their tendencies to view members of different groups through monolithic lenses. This text has been invaluable in my approach to pedagogy about the nexus of person, problems, and treatment approaches.--Daryl Chiliad. Rowe, PhD, Graduate School of Pedagogy and Psychology, Pepperdine University
