Clients in psychodynamic therapy come from all ethnic and cultural backgrounds, as do therapists, yet cross-cultural issues are often oversimplified or ignored in clinical practice and training. This volume helps therapists incorporate awareness of diversity into all phases of treatment, from referral and assessment to working through and termination. Using extensive case material, Judith Mishne illuminates the ways that differences in ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, class background, and age enter into both the personal identity of client and therapist and the moment-to-moment process of therapy. She offers clear guidance for understanding and navigating the intersubjective issues that arise, drawing from the literatures of multicultural therapy, self psychology, and object relations. Demonstrating how to build and sustain a strong, empathic treatment alliance--one based on openness, self-awareness, curiosity, and specific cultural knowledge--this book is a vital resource for contemporary clinicians.

CHOICE Review

Mishne (New York Univ., School of Social Work) takes a personal, psychoanalytic, and highly effective approach to illustrating an effective multicultural clinical practice. Updating works such as Sybil Lassiter's Multicultural Clients (CH, Sep'95) and Ethnicity and Family Therapy, ed. by Monica McGoldrick, John Pearce, and Joseph Giordano (CH, Jun'83; 2nd ed., 1996), she offers a summary review of developing views of cross-cultural treatment from the 1950s through the 1990s. Starting from the perspective that everyone has multicultural identities that profoundly impact the treatment relationship, Mishne advocates the psychoanalytic approach as especially helpful with the typically vulnerable client. To demonstrate this, she presents a detailed analysis of the early, middle, and late stages of the treatment process, including excellent, in-depth illustrative material from her own practice involving children, adolescents, and adults. The author supplements this with encouragement for the integrative use of feminist and empowerment theory, family theory, and other approaches as appropriate. Among the book's particularly rich sections is the exploration of empathy in the epilogue. Extensive references; upper-division undergraduates and above. L. M. C.
