Evaluating cross-cultural work in different countries -- Lessons from South Africa and Africa -- The role of art and art therapy -- The universal theory approach to working across cultural boundaries -- Possible practical solutions -- Applications of the universal theory approach and practical solutions in different countries -- An ideal generation.
With an international focus, this book considers how art techniques and exercises can be used in therapeutic work across cultural and race boundaries.
Drawing on her experience working in post-Apartheid South Africa, the author gives practical guidance on how to overcome resistance to the therapeutic process, misunderstandings, and other barriers, such as language difficulties. With illuminating case studies, the book explains how to handle very practical issues, such as working with an interpreter, and opens the door to a wider conversation around the use of art in multicultural work. -- Publisher note
