Summary
"The need to respond effectively to every troubled child or young person has never been greater as the world experiences a period of global anxiety. Increased migration, terrorism, ethnic conflict, globalisation and the widening gap between rich and poor nations are producing psychological consequences requiring skilled attention. Reactions to the needs of refugees and asylum-seeking families kindle racist and persecutory feelings that create an emotionally damaging environment. Culturally Competent Therapy offers a timely response in these highly charged circumstances."--Jacket.
