Summary:"The Palgrave Psychotherapy Series is aimed at introducing key concepts in the practice and theory of psychotherapy to students, trainees and practitioners. This important addition to the series explores the popular topic of race and racism, and its consideration within the realm of difference issues across the therapeutic approaches. Whilst providing a much-needed critical overview of the therapeutic literature on race and cultural difference, M.Fakhry Davids also takes the bolder step of presenting a new clinically-based model of racism in the mind and demonstrates how this may help practitioners to recognize and deal with such issues as they arise in the consulting room"--
