Counselling in Transcultural Settings Reviews

'd'Ardenne combines a wealth of clinical experience and expertise with theoretical and conceptual depth to bring to the novice and expert an important contribution to transcultural counselling. This textbook deserves a place in interdisciplinary courses which profess any investigation or expertise in culture and mental health' -
Kam Bhui, Professor of Cultural Psychiatry at Barts and the London School of Medicine and President of the World Association of Cultural Psychiatry

'As global communication becomes wider, faster and more direct, the cultural gulfs between human societies are becoming more apparent. Attitudes to and treatment of mental health and trauma vary hugely in different cultures and societies. It is time we recognised that Western ways are not the only ways. We have a lot to learn. Counselling in Transcultural Settings unpacks these issues and provides a valuable tool for everyone working in this area' -
Richard Dowden, Director, The Royal African Society
