Culturally Responsive Mental Health Practice with Nonreligious Clients

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

An affordable, practical, intersectional, research-based text on culturally-responsive therapy with nonreligious clients. While this frequently maligned and stigmatized demographic is one of the fastest growing in the country, graduate training programs seldom cover best practices for recognizing one's unrecognized biases and providing supportive, culturally-affirmative counseling for these clients, making the need for this comprehensive guide more essential for the field.
