Culturally Responsive Cognitive Behavior Therapy: Practice and Supervision is the first book to integrate cultural influences into cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). This engagingly written second edition describes the application of CBT with people of diverse cultures and discusses how therapists can refine CBT to increase its effectiveness with clients of many cultures. The contributing authors examine the characteristics of some of the most common cultural groups in the United States including American Indian, Latinx, Asian, South Asian, and African American, as well as groups less commonly considered in multicultural psychology books: people of Alaska Native, Arab, and Orthodox Jewish heritage.

The volume also describes the use of CBT with older adults, people with disabilities, and gay and lesbian individuals, including examples of people who hold bicultural and multicultural identities. Numerous case examples provide practical information grounded in an empirically supported theory, making this book a practical resource for every therapist.

“Now when therapists ask me in my workshops, ‘what should we know about delivery of cognitive-behavioral therapy to people of different cultures?’ my answer will enthusiastically include a recommendation of this comprehensive guide.”

-- Christine A. Padesky, PhD, author of Mind Over Mood.

“… a timely book written by a gifted group of researchers and clinicians. This book has tremendous breadth, covering some groups that have received extremely limited attention, including Alaska Natives, Arabs, and Orthodox Jews…The book will be valuable to clinicians and researchers.”
