Women of Color Integrating Ethnic and Gender Identities in Psychotherapy

Comprehensively addresses mental health issues relevant to women of color and presents guidelines for state-of-the-art treatment. Chapters illustrate the interaction of gender and ethnicity in mental health theory and practice, and discuss how cultural relevance and gender sensitivity can and must be incorporated into clinical work. Inclusive in its approach and rich with illustrative case examples, Women of Color covers issues that affect both familiar and frequently overlooked groups of women, including lesbians, professional women, mixed-race women, battered women, and refugee women.Comas-Diaz, Lillian is the author of 'Women of Color Integrating Ethnic and Gender Identities in Psychotherapy', published 1994 under ISBN 9780898623710 and ISBN 0898623715.
