Re-visioning Family Therapy : Race, Culture, And Gender In Clinical Practice - 2nd edition

''McGoldrick and Hardy lead a wise council of practitioners to construct a vision of family therapy that is culturally and socially grounded. Rather than portraying individual cultural groups, the text addresses nuanced processes in understanding and working with difference in ways that broaden traditional conceptualizations and practices. This volume will make a wonderful contribution to graduate courses addressing family treatment in all mental health-related disciplines.''--Steven R. Lopez, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Southern California ''McGoldrick and her colleagues have again pushed the boundaries of family therapy with this splendid, updated second edition. Here is a vision of family therapy that embraces the lived complexity of diversity, addressing the intersections of race, ethnicity, class, gender, national origin, religion and spirituality, and sexual orientation. The expanded section on therapists' own cultural legacies and stories will stimulate self-reflection that is critical to developing cultural competence, while increased attention to training will aid students and teachers alike in grounding this vision in practice. I highly recommend this text.''--Francis G. Lu, MD, Department of Psychiatry, University of California, San Francisco
