Clinical Psychology : A Global Perspective
Paperback Edition: 1
The first book to offer a truly global perspective on the theory and practice of clinical psychology.
While clinical psychology is practiced the world over, up to now there has been no text devoted to examining it within a global context. The first book of its
kind, Clinical Psychology: A Global Perspective brings together contributions from clinicians and scholars around the world to share their insights and observations on the theory and practice of clinical psychology.
Due partly to language barriers and entrenched cultural biases, there is little cultural cross-pollination within the field of clinical psychology. In fact, most of the popular texts were written for English-speaking European and Anglo-American audiences and translated for other countries. As a result, most psychologists are unaware of how their profession is conceptualised and practiced in different regions, or how their own practices can be enriched by knowledge of the theories and modalities predominant among colleagues in other parts of the world. This book represents an important first step toward rectifying that state of affairs.
