Relazione

"This handbook lays the foundations for a more balanced therapeutic view after a half century of emphasis on brain-behavior relations, an emphasis that has largely overlooked the cultural forces that shape perceptions, attitudes, and actions.The second edition adds eight chapters on Jewish and Muslim communities, military service members, developmental and physical disabilities, suicide, and measurement of cultural competence." --ProtoView.com, February 2014
