Synopsis:

With a focus on client-centred care, this book provides an introduction to developing cultural competence in the health care setting. A unique presentation covering both theory and practice, the book begins with a strong foundational model for understanding culture. It then introduces general knowledge on culture which can be provided to a variety of settings, and ends with clinical applications illustrating how to apply knowledge and awareness to a variety of populations. With contributions from twelve leading experts, material is drawn from a wide range of health care settings and has strong practical coverage throughout.

• Unique approach: looks at populations the way health care workers encounter them, not by ethno-cultural/religious labels


• Multidisciplinary approach to writing reflects a variety of perspectives and direct front-line experience


• Discussion is broad and inclusive, integrating different perspectives, but also makes visible the different paradigms used to approach the topic


• Case studies and questions encourage critical thinking and dialogue
