Synopsis: In this reflective guide, Myira Khan tackles what it means to work within diversity as a therapist - to actively reflect on your own identity and experiences and how they affect the therapeutic relationships between you and your clients. Presenting a model of anti-oppressive practice, the book examines topics such as power and privilege, cultural humility and how professionals can work to remove barriers to counselling and therapy. It focuses specifically on race, ethnicity and faith, while also considering the implications of intersectional identities. The workbook elements of this book encourage self-reflection and the implementation of new ideas within the therapeutic process. There is an emphasis on practical application throughout the book and it will inspire readers to consider what 'working within diversity' and working cross-culturally really looks like in the therapy room itself.
