Overview

Transcultural Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Anxiety and Depression is a practical and accessible guide, drawing on current research in CBT and clinical practice. It aims to support therapists in taking a reflective and evidence based approach to genuinely improving access and outcomes for Black and Minority Ethnic service users. It highlights the skills that clinicians need to undertake Culturally Adapted and Culturally Sensitive CBT and provides practical ideas and case examples that will enable therapists to feel confident in adapting models of assessment and treatment across cultures. The emphasis of this book is on practical clinical techniques and approaches but it is firmly grounded in the research literature on this topic. Therapists, supervisors and service leads will find useful ideas to support and enrich transcultural working and develop their confidence when applying evidence based interventions across cultures. Transcultural Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Anxiety and Depression will be of interest to Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) trained cognitive behaviour therapists, clinical psychologists and cognitive behaviour therapists. The book will also appeal to those undertaking advanced or postgraduate studies in CBT.

Reviews

Dr Beck's masterful book on CBT brings therapy to life with multiple case examples. The book is timely, considering most societies are becoming more and more multicultural, and therefore therapists need to have a better understanding of their client's cultural backgrounds. Dr Beck has done an excellent job of emphasising the complexity of working across cultures, while simplifying the process of delivering culturally responsive therapy. We know that both the populations in low and middle income countries and ethnic minority groups in high income countries have less access to psychological interventions; in my opinion Dr Beck's book will make a significant contribution towards reducing the huge treatment gap. This is an important book for all who are involved in offering therapies across cultures. - Dr Nusrat Husain, Reader in Psychiatry, Lead Global Mental Health Institute of Brain, Behaviour & Mental Health, University of Manchester, Director Research Global Health, Manchester Academic Health Sciences Centre (MAHSC) Central to the CBT model is a bringing together of relationship and structure. Without relationship, CBT works poorly. Similarly, CBT provides a model to help people work out why they feel as they do, and make changes that they wish to make. But classical CBT is western-developed and can exclude, rather than engage, those from other backgrounds and cultures. That's why I am so excited by this essential book. It provides a wealth of ideas, tools and approaches to build relationships, and culturally adapt the CBT model to engage people from diverse backgrounds. It makes essential reading for clinicians, supervisors and service managers wanting to include all members of the community in health care delivery. - Professor Chris Williams, University of Glasgow and President of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies, lead author of www.livinglifetothefull.com
