Counseling Refugees: A Psychosocial Approach to Innovative Multicultural Interventions

Fred Bemak,Rita Chi-Ying Chung,Paul Pedersen

Identifies psychosocial issues relevant to refugee relocation and explains the development of culturally sensitive intervention strategies to assist refugees in adaptation. There are more than 26 million refugees in the world, and the population is expected to grow. However, there is minimal training or understanding in the mental health and social services fields that provides the awareness, knowledge, and skills to effectively work with refugees. Subsequently, this volume is intended to provide a comprehensive understanding of refugee psychosocial adjustment that incorporates cross-cultural perspectives. The text provides an all-inclusive overview of refugee acculturation and adaptation, a model of intervention to assist refugees in the process of psychosocial adjustment, case studies illustrating practical intervention applications, and country-specific interventions from unique and diverse national perspectives. Professionals working with refugees in the United States and around the world will value this volume.
