Thompson, Indiana University - Purdue University This text presents a variety of global cases from both developed and developing countries, detailing descriptions of people who are seeking help to eliminate distress and of the exceptional practitioners who provide the help. In most of the cases, the practitioner is someone who shares a similar heritage with the help seeker and who is influenced, at least partly, by Western psychotherapy traditions. This book helps to prepare mental health trainees and practicing professionals to be effective healers in their work with people in different regions of the world. Consequently, the authors hope to offer practitioners a glimpse of what can ideally be achieved in these regions. CONTENTS Introduction: Toward an Inclusive International Psychology / 1.

Students and clinicians will gain relevant and up-to-date knowledge about LGBTI groups, and will develop the skills needed to work effectively with each subgroup in an empathetic and understanding manner. Additionally, to enhance practitioners' multicultural competency to counsel LGBTI clients and prepare them for practice in an increasingly global landscape, the author explores cultural differences around the world and discusses how LGBTI identities change from region to region. This text challenges and changes beliefs about and attitudes toward each LGBTI subgroup, while preparing practitioners to provide sensitive, informed, and effective affirmative counseling to this largely misunderstood population.
