"Patricia d'Ardenne and Aruna Mahtani illustrate the process of transcultural counselling using the contrasting case studies of four different clients, and highlight the impact of cultural issues at individual, community and global levels. Counsellors are encouraged to recognise the importance of life experiences for their work, and to think about ways of using their own skills and resources more flexibly in response to different cultural needs." "Transcultural Counselling in Action is invaluable for all trainee and practising counsellors who wish to raise their own cultural awareness and to develop counselling practice which is relevant and effective for all."--Jacket.
