Humanistic Approaches to Multiculturalism and Diversity: Perspectives on Existence and Difference

by Louis Hoffman (Editor), Heatherlyn Cleare-Hoffman (Editor), Nathaniel Granger Jr. (Editor)

Providing an overview of essential topics in multicultural psychology, Humanistic Approaches to Multiculturalism and Diversity focuses on the intersection of humanistic psychology and multiculturalism, including history, theory, research, and practice.

The authors examine the unique contributions of humanistic psychology to multicultural psychology on topics often ignored, such as cultural empathy and indigenous psychology and diversity. The book critiques and rectifies previous failures to adequately engage multicultural issues by providing methods for integrating multicultural psychology and humanistic therapy. Readers will find that each chapter advances scholarship through a dialogue with multicultural perspectives and builds a foundation for future scholarship and clinical practice.

This book will be of great interest to mental health professionals interested in humanistic and existential psychology.
