Cultural awareness in the helping professions is crucial to providing the best possible care. In this expanded new edition of
Cross-Cultural Practice, the authors uniquely present factors common to diverse ethnic and cultural populations that are useful in building cross-cultural competence. Building on the existential concepts of Victor Frankl, the text provides a framework for helping families and individuals discover meaning and meaning opportunities in daily living.
The book is organised into chapters dedicated to specific population profiles. New chapters give an overview of key concepts used throughout the book and summarize the authors' theoretical approach toward cross-cultural practice.
New to the Second Edition:
- Expanded material outlining key terms and concepts.
- New case studies.
- Current demographic and lifestyle information on each population.
