Cross-Cultural Counseling

The Arab-Palestinian Case

By: Frank De Piano

As a therapist, you may find yourself at a brick wall when you try to treat Middle Eastern, North African, South American, Asian, and other clients with psychotherapeutic techniques formulated in the West. As Cross-Cultural Counseling: The Arab-Palestinian Case illustrates, the construction of self, community, and society is remarkably different in Arab countries. Only certain aspects of Western psychotherapy can be adapted to respond to the unique sociopolitical conditions and cultural factors affecting the mental health of people raised to consider community needs over self needs and desires. This text suggests a biopsychosocial approach to treating psychological disorders among Arab clients and highlights differences in the prevalence and manifestation of psychological disorders among peoples of South/Eastern backgrounds, as compared to what is known in the West. You’ll gain an education and understanding from Cross-Cultural Counseling that helps you provide more effective services to Arabs and Palestinians to meet their mental health needs. Cross-Cultural Counseling shows you how divesting therapeutic techniques of cultural sensitivity results in the alienation of clients who are not accustomed to recognizing or meeting their individual needs. It suggests a biopsychosocial approach to treating psychological disorders among Arab clients and highlights differences in the prevalence and manifestation of psychological disorders among peoples of South/Eastern backgrounds, as compared to what is known in the West. Challenging therapists to discard their misconceptions and biases about people who don’t fit the Western mold in terms of individualization, identity, and personality, the book also covers: different sociopolitical situations in Arab countries and the maintenance of authoritarian and collectivistic culture psychocultural features of Arabs socialization in Arab homes and schools help-seeking behavior among Arabs and poor mental health service delivery in Arab countries factors threatening the unity of the Palestinian family therapeutic recommendations for traditional clientsAccording to author Marwan Dwairy, Cross-Cultural Counseling is meant to “undo the dehumanization that has surrounded Palestinian-Arabs and help clinicians to understand the behavior of the Arab client and come to know the person in him or her.” Certainly, no other book can help you, as a psychologist, psychiatrist, or mental health professional, treat Palestinians, Arabs, and other South/Eastern clients as efficiently and successfully.

Counseling and Psychotherapy with Arabs & Muslims

A Culturally Sensitive Approach

By: Marwan Dwairy

The long shadow of September 11 has awakened a widespread desire to understand more about Arab and Islamic cultures. In this book, a respected expert in the field provides a history of the region’s people and an exploration of their mental health issues, including the impact of western civilization in the Middle East and the negative reaction to western dominance among many Arabs and Muslims—plus two contributed chapters addressing Arab families in the United States and family therapy with Arab and Muslim women. “Deals directly with the consequences of simplistic stereotyping of Arabic and Muslim people following the 9/11 events and the threat of terrorism.” —From the Foreword by Paul B. Pedersen, Professor Emeritus, Syracuse University “Religion plays a major role in the mental life of Arabs and Muslims, and to address this aspect in counseling and psychotherapy is a welcome intervention. I congratulate Dr. Dwairy for his impact on the progress of psychotherapy in our region.” —Ahmed Okasha, Director of WHO Collaborating Center, Institute of Psychiatry, Ain Shams University “An excellent resource for mental health professionals working with Middle Eastern clients around the world. This text is well researched, and the author has extensive experience with this clientele and with the research literature in the counseling and psychotherapy field.” —Farah A. Ibrahim, psychologist and professor, Oregon State University “Outstanding . . . Dwairy presents a compelling historical and sociopolitical context . . . a must-have reference for any clinician working with Arab/Muslim clients.” —Sylvia Nassar-McMillan, North Carolina State University
