Summary:

Cognitive behavioral approaches often rely on the worldview of both client and therapist. But because one's worldviews and values are so often individually and culturally biased, it can be difficult to apply the same techniques to clients from different cultural and ethics backgrounds. That's why multicultural competency training for mental health professionals is so important. This groundbreaking book presents a contextual approach to sociocultural diversity in both theory and practice. You will learn how to tailor your therapeutic approaches to address a number of cultural factors, including religion and spirituality, social stigma, prejudice, and differences in language. You'll also find solid data and research that show how innovations in acceptance and mindfulness therapies can be directed for the wellness of all people, no matter their race, creed, or cultural background. This book examines the cultural competency and cultural adaptation of: Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) Book jacket.
