Counseling Refugees: A Psychosocial Approach to Innovative Multicultural Interventions (Contributions in Psychology)

There are more than 26 million refugees in the world, and the population is expected to grow. However, there is minimal training or understanding in the mental health and social services fields that provides the awareness, knowledge, and skills to effectively work with refugees. Subsequently, this volume is intended to provide a comprehensive understanding of refugee psychosocial adjustment that incorporates cross-cultural perspectives. The text provides an all-inclusive overview of refugee acculturation and adaptation, a model of intervention to assist refugees in the process of psychosocial adjustment, case studies illustrating practical intervention applications, and country-specific interventions from unique and diverse national perspectives. Professionals working with refugees in the United States and around the world will value this volume.Paul Pedersen is the author of 'Counseling Refugees: A Psychosocial Approach to Innovative Multicultural Interventions (Contributions in Psychology)', published 2002 under ISBN 9780313312687 and ISBN 0313312680.
