Culturally Responsive Cognitive Behavior Therapy: Practice and Supervision / Edition 2

by Gayle Y. Iwamasa PhD, Pamela A. Hays PhD

Overview

This volume shows mental health providers how to integrate cultural factors into cognitive behavior therapy (CBT).

Contributing authors describe the application of CBT with clients of diverse cultures, and discusses how therapists can refine CBT to increase its effectiveness with clients from a variety of cultural backgrounds. They examine the unique characteristics of, and the use of CBT with various racial, ethnic, and religious minority groups in the United States including Latinx, Asian Americans, African Americans, American Indians, Alaska natives, Arabs, and Orthodox Jews.  Strategies for using CBT with older adults, individuals with disabilities, and LGBTQ clients are also examined. A chapter on culturally responsive CBT clinical supervision closes this volume.

This second edition includes fully-updated demographic information, a greater emphasis on culture-specific assessments, and a chapter on using CBT with clients of South Asian descent.

What People are Saying About This

Lillian Comas-Díaz

This excellent new edition illustrates effective and creative CBT cultural adaptations. Using an integrative cultural and clinical perspective, contributors offer best practices for working with diverse clients within a CBT cultural competence approach. I strongly recommend this invaluable book to all psychotherapists, trainees, supervisors, and educators.

Judith S. Beck

If you're not already skilled at adapting CBT to your clients' cultures, you need this book! An understanding of culture, which may strongly affect clients' perceptions and behavioral patterns, is essential to accurately conceptualizing the individual and delivering effective treatment.

Gordon C. Nagayama Hall
