Summary:

International Case Studies in Mental Health presents a variety of global cases from both developed and developing countries, detailing descriptions of people who are seeking help to eliminate distress and of the exceptional practitioners who provide the help. In most of the cases, the practitioner is someone who shares a similar heritage with the help seeker and who is influenced at least partly by Western psychotherapy traditions.

This book aims to help prepare mental health trainees and practicing professionals to be effective in the provision of healing in their work with people in different regions of the world. Consequently, the authors hope to offer practitioners a glimpse of what can ideally be achieved in these regions.

Key Features

A combination of cross-national and multicultural issues demonstrates a holistic perspective of help seekers and the interventions they receive.

The authors convey the need for practitioners to view their roles more flexibly, by presenting a range of issues that arise for the help seekers and then challenging the readers to expand their basic knowledge of the profession.

The text integrates both Western and indigenous practices. This presentation further develops the readers' understanding of cross-national or multicultural psychology integration.

Ecological approaches to crisis counseling are illustrated with rich descriptions of the contexts, the nature of the crises, and the people who experience them. Book jacket.
