Biopsychosocial Perspectives on Arab Americans: Culture, Development, and Health

Biopsychosocial Perspectives on Arab Americans: Culture, Development, and Health by Sylvia C. Nassar, Kristine J. Ajrouch, Florence J. Dallo, Julie Hakim-Larson
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 343 Pages | ISBN : 3031283597 | 11 MB

The biopsychosocial study of Arab Americans yields compelling insights into innovative theoretical and applied initiatives. In the context of a growing population of Arab Americans, coupled with the current tenure of xenophobia and exposed structural racism in the US, clinical and community practitioners must be attuned to their clients of Arab ancestry, whose experiences, development, and health concerns are distinctly different than that of their White counterparts. This second edition, with its uniquely interwoven sections of culture, psychosocial development, and health and disease, provides a rich overview of timely, critical topics.

Comprehensive, transdisciplinary and cross-cultural in scope, this volume is of interest to a global readership across the social and behavioural sciences.

Beyond the Psychology Industry: How Else Might We Heal? (Repost)

Beyond the Psychology Industry: How Else Might We Heal? by Paul Rhodes
English | EPUB | 2020 | 127 Pages | ISBN : 3030337618 | 1.7 MB

This book provides a scholarly yet accessible approach to critical psychology, specifically discussing therapeutic practices that are possible outside of the mainstream psychology industry. While there are many books that deconstruct or dismantle clinical psychology, few provide a compendium of potential alternatives to mainstream practice. Focusing on five main themes in reference to this objective: suffering, decolonization, dialogue, feminism and the arts, these pages explore types of personal inquiry, cultural knowledge or community action that might help explain and heal psychological pain beyond the confines of the therapy room. Chapters focus on the role of cultural knowledge, including spiritual traditions, relational being, art, poetry, feminism and indigenous systems in promoting healing and on community-based-initiatives, including open dialogue, justice-based collaboration and social prescribing. Beyond the Psychology Industry will be of interest to researchers, clinical psychologists, therapists, academics in mental health, and cultural psychologists.
