It provides an excellent introduction to the field, but its fresh and novel approach makes it also attractive to seasoned clinicians immersed in practicing psychotherapy with a culturally diverse clientele."

Its ability to seamlessly tie together paradigms with practice techniques makes this volume a must read."
