A Cultural Humility And Social Justice Approach To Psychotherapy Av Anu (Associate Professor Of Psychology Associate Professor Of Psychology The Unive

Achieving effectiveness of evidence-based psychotherapy across a diversity of patients continues to be a foremost concern, and many training programs and professional societies in clinical psychology are at a loss as to how to systematically approach this issue. In A Cultural Humility and Social Justice Approach to Psychotherapy, Anu Asnaani provides an applied guide for working with clients from a diverse set of intersectional identities within the context of evidence-based practice. Drawing on her extensive clinical experience with a range of clients and therapy protocols/approaches, her active and ongoing research program in addressing health disparities, and considerable work in training clinicians across practice settings to incorporate diversity perspectives into treatment, Asnaani presents practical ways to engage in culturally humble, socially just clinical practice. Guidelines are derived from the consensus across published literature and established practice, and cover the full trajectory of treatment, from assessment through to relapse prevention; the book further offers some considerations for adopting these principles within the context of clinical supervision. Suitable for a broad range of mental health practitioners providing evidence-based clinical care for individuals with psychological disorders, this book provides worksheets, reflection exercises, and short-hand figures, making these concepts as easy-to-use in clinical practice as possible.
