Reviews

Most therapists aspire to be culturally competent, but what does this mean for those using mindfulness and acceptance-based treatments? Are these interventions effective with diverse groups? Should they be adapted to reduce cultural bias? If so, how? Can clinicians use mindfulness- and acceptance-based methods to improve their own cultural competence? Fascinating and practical, this book provides compelling answers to these and other important questions. --Ruth Baer, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of Kentucky and editor of Mindfulness-Based Treatment Approaches Acceptance and mindfulness [methods are] drawn from multiple cultures around the world. That is a part of what makes this work so relevant to cultural issues on the one hand, and in need of culturally competent application on the other. This ground-breaking volume walks through both sides of this issue in a way that will uplift, energize, and empower practitioners. Highly recommended. --Steven C. Hayes, PhD, codeveloper of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) Mindfulness and Acceptance in Multicultural Competency addresses challenges in the application of mindfulness- and acceptance-based interventions to diverse groups. The emphasis throughout the book is on the principles of these approaches rather than on their topographical or surface characteristics. There is a breadth of topics, including cultural issues, such as cultural competence and cultural adaptation of interventions, as well as sociocultural issues, such as discrimination, prejudice, stigma, and minority status. ...This book provides a useful conceptual framework to guide research and clinical practice. --Gordon C. Nagayama Hall, professor of psychology and director of clinical training at the University of Oregon
