Quote #2: FOR COVER: "Specifically focusing on the work of counselors and clinicians, and especially oriented to students and trainees aspiring to careers in the helping professions, this volume provides a rich introduction to the multitude of ways in which culture shapes everyday life, its various challenges, and their solutions. Far from an abstract and empty notion, Eshun and Gurung's collection adds flesh, bones, and blood to the notion of 'culture' and offer persuasive illustrations of what is meant by the term 'cultural competence.'" Larry Davidson, Yale University
Quote #3: FOR COVER: "Eshun, Gurung and their contributing scholars provide a broad overview of culture and mental health. The book is well worth considering for graduate courses in counseling psychology and related fields." Steven Lopez, University of Southern California
Quote #4: FOR COVER: "Culture and Mental Health comes to grips with the complexities of the field without overwhelming or intimidating its readers. It blends concepts and findings with clinical realities and challenges. Thoroughly documented and up to date, the book is relevant for clinicians and researchers at all levels of training and experience." Juris G. Draguns, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, Pennsylvania State University
Quote #1: INSIDE VERSION (on "PRAISE FOR CULTURE AND MENTAL HEALTH" page):
"One of the primary goals of psychology as a discipline is the alleviation of human suffering. To this end, it is imperative that we understand the various forms of human dysfunction and psychopathology, so that we can continuously intervene in constructive and helpful ways. As the world becomes smaller and borders more porous, psychologists also have the need to adopt a global perspective on the causes, forms, and treatments of various types of illnesses that afflict so many in the world today. Eshun and Gurung's book represents the latest and best effort to compile the information about culture and mental health available in the field today. They have assembled some of the best scholars in the field to bring to bear their expertise in each of their respective areas. Readers will be enlightened with the exceptional information described in each of the chapters. The text is relevant, well-written, and engaging, and Eshun and Gurung are to be commended for an exceptional effort that will be a standard in the field." - David Matsumoto, San Francisco State University
