Reviews

This is an accessible book that conveys a welcoming tone to readers. There is enough overlap in the chapters to drive home some key ideas without conveying a sense of unnecessary repetition. [The book] offers guidance for clinicians who wish to cultivate the principle of dynamic sizing, in which clinicians who are working with culturally based understandings in clinical contexts need to make use of cultural knowledge in a way that honors the individual and avoids rigid applications of overgeneralizations. --PsycCRITIQUES
