`The book aptly describes, explores and hits the core of very complex issues around race, racism, culture, difference, dual identity, stereotypes, immigration and alienation... It is also very thought-provoking, raising questions about one′s own ability to work more flexibly in the consulting room with clients of different backgrounds.... It is excellent for a directory of resources, useful for training purposes and an enabling "role model" for good practice in counselling in a multicultural society. I enjoyed it.... It should be a required handbook on the shelf of every caring professional working within a multicultural environment or setting′ - Transformations, The PCSR Journal This book examines the many complex issues surrounding counselling and therapy in a multicultural society. It aims to sensitize readers to the cultural and racial setting in which counselling occurs, and to raise awareness of the specific counselling needs of those from differing backgrounds. The book explores the impact of culture on identity, and of cultural differences on interaction. It looks at how one might take a client′s cultural context into consideration, or deal with racism, and provides a sophisticated account of the salient value systems of Western and non-Western cultures. Contributors also challenge the suitability of a client-centred approach for clients from non-Western backgrounds, and explore the possibilities for transcultural, culture-centred and multimodal models of counselling in the West.

This book is an examination of the role of the spirit in the diagnosis and therapy of psychosomatic pathology. It explores healing knowledge from the Bible, theology, psychology, sociology, psychiatry science and medicine, as they work together on the healing of diseases of the body and mind. Earlier in the book the author incurs into autobiographical insights which bears relevance to the vision about researching the spirit's influence in psychosomatic therapy. The book also explores various modes of power that bear on the therapy and homeostasis of the psychosomatic helpseeker and how the individual functions under each mode. To accomplish the research the author used questionnaires and interviews as instruments. Two case studies were also examined. From this study, the researcher concludes that the Spirit of God (Spirit) and the Human spirit (spirit) are necessarily linked in human wholeness - the Psyche and Soma being recipients in the process.
