Description: Bringing the field completely up to date, Ethnicity and Family Therapy has been revised and expanded to encompass the broad range of cultural influences encountered in clinical practice today. More than doubling the number of ethnic cultures covered and updating the original chapters, it now covers 23 new groups, including 19 different European groups and many different Latino, Asian, African, American Indian, and Arab cultures.

An ideal text for advanced courses in family therapy, social work, psychotherapy, and counseling, the book also serves as an invaluable resource for all practitioners, regardless of orientation.
