Produktbeschreibung
Understanding Arab men is based on an insightful thesis, which makes a distinct contribution to the field of family therapy theory and practice. It is based on an empirical study investigating Arab men s experience of family therapy. This research skilfully weaves cultural sensitivity and knowledge of the patients background together with clinical expertise. Dr Yousry puts a powerful and compelling argument about how cultural specificity of current models of family therapy practice interferes with the effectiveness of the interventions. Consequently this might be a factor in Arab male patients dropping out of treatment. Dr Yousry''s unique position in family therapy and his insights emphasize how disturbing it is that such a crucial oversight has not been picked up before. In this sense this book makes a crucial and much needed contribution to family therapy knowledge and practice. Dr Yousry also offers an insight into the psycho-social dilemmas facing Arab patients and consequently Western practitioners working with them. He provides a clear exploration of the miss-match between therapeutic models and patient s need and makes recommendations for changes in practice.
