内容説明

Recent years have seen significant advances in our knowledge of psychosocial interventions for anxiety disorders, yet scant consideration has been given to the ways these disorders are manifested and treated within different cultures and ethnic groups. Filling a significant void, this pioneering volume presents a thorough review of the research and clinical knowledge in this area. Leading experts on the subject examine the ways different cultural groups view anxiety, offer guidelines for diagnosis, and describe how therapists can provide culturally informed treatment. This book will be of interest to medical professionals and students who need to be able to recognize, diagnose, and treat anxiety disorders, as well as those interested in learning more about culturally informed treatment in other clinical contexts.
