Mindfulness and Acceptance in Multicultural Competency A Contextual Approach to Sociocultural Diversity in Theory and Practice

Mindfulness and Acceptance in Multicultural Competency explores the nuances of applying acceptance and mindfulness therapy to clients from diverse cultural and ethnic groups. This book addresses the question of whether acceptance and mindfulness treatments such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) can be applied equally to different cultures, what kind of adjustments are necessary when applying these techniques, and discusses how values are often culturally biased and individualistic.
