Publisher Description:
This progressive volume takes a nuanced approach to understanding systemic therapies with diverse client populations, leading to culturally responsive therapy. Synthesizing diverse streams of psychology, philosophy, and social theory, chapters focus on cutting-edge issues in couple and family therapy including social justice, power, and privilege in therapy, the role of evidence-based practices, and integrative approaches to couple and family therapy. Each contributor is either a recent immigrant to the U.S. or a person of color, bringing unique personal lenses and experiences to the exploration of the topics. And coverage also makes clear what white therapists need to learn--and unlearn--before they can work responsively with clients of color.
This practice-building reference:
  • Combines research with applied knowledge in its treatment of topics.
  • Adapts systemic therapy practice into today's culturally diverse contexts.
  • Explores themes of power, privilege, and social justice in each chapter.
  • Presents multiculturalism in terms of therapeutic responsiveness.
  • Critiques approaches to systemic therapy with immigrant clients and clients of color.
  • Challenges readers to access deeper concepts and realities of self, other, and trust.

Updating familiar takes on cultural competence with both local and global implications, Cross-Cultural Responsiveness and Systemic Therapy describes numerous opportunities for and challenges to couple and family therapy, as well as cross-disciplinary opportunities for incorporating social justice and cultural responsiveness in training and supervision of couple and family therapists.
