Title: Cultural Psychology in Clinical Research and Practices
Author: Olga Epitropaki
Category: Applied Psychology, Interpersonal Relations, Social Psychology
Language: English | 353 Pages | ISBN: 9781442265295
Description:
Cultural Psychology in Clinical Research and Practices brings together international scholars and practitioners to examine why cultural psychology is essential for contemporary clinical practice. Building on Shweder's (1990) understanding of culture as the set of traditions and social practices that shape how people think, feel, and act, the book argues that clinical psychology must move beyond universalised Western models if it hopes to understand distress as it is actually lived. Culture is not treated here as a peripheral attribute but as a constitutive element of mind, identity, and meaning-making, central to how suffering is expressed and how healing becomes possible.
Although the chapters are not organised into formal sections, they can be read as contributing to four interrelated themes: Reframing Theory and Foundations; Politics, Justice, and Intercultural Practice; Identity, Language, and the Therapeutic Encounter; and Embodiment, Culture, and Lived Experience. These themes offer readers a guide to how the contributions, taken together, show culture at work in clinical research and practice. Viewed through these lenses, the contributions demonstrate how culture shapes clinical work in psychotherapy and health-related settings, and offer insights relevant to wider applied practice. Chapters draw on semiotic, phenomenological, decolonial, and interdisciplinary approaches to explore topics such as the colonial roots of diagnostic concepts, the politics of therapeutic practice, linguistic identity in bilingual counselling, intersectionality in self-disclosure, intercultural encounters with Indigenous communities, and cultural idioms of suffering.
By foregrounding cultural psychology, Cultural Psychology in Clinical Research and Practices offers a critical and forward-looking agenda for clinical psychology research and practice. It invites readers to reconsider long-held assumptions about neutrality, objectivity, and universality in mental health, and instead to embrace culturally grounded, ethically engaged approaches that recognise power, history, and context. The result is a timely contribution for researchers, practitioners, and students seeking a clinical psychology that is globally relevant, locally meaningful, and responsive to the plurality of human experience.
