圖書名稱：Models for Practice With Immigrants and Refugees: Collaboration, Cultural Awareness, and Integrative Theory
內容簡介
The purpose of Lundy’s Practice with Immigrants and Refugees: Theory, Practice and Culture, is to establish a foundational framework for professionals working with immigrants and refugees. The content is grounded in ecological systems theory and is applicable to professionals in a variety of disciplines who work with the identified population. The text focuses on a transnational practice, emphasizing the relevance of Western approaches to working with immigrants and refugees while reorienting Western concepts to be more culturally-sensitive from a domestic and international perspective. The presented framework is grounded in critical thinking and strengthened by the ecological systems perspective which facilitates a thorough, culturally mandated and openly reflective questioning of the needs and wishes of the often trauma-exposed, transnational populations. The possible utility and application of Western theory and practice strategies is discussed in relation to culturally relevant and population specific norms throughout the text, including somatization and other culturally grounded manifestations of peoples’ experiences. Additionally, case studies and reflective questions are embedded in each chapter to further emphasize the need for critical thinking and cultural awareness when working with transnational populations. In addition, specific models that have been successfully used to inform and empower immigrants and refugees are discussed, with their application clarified by case examples. The text ends with a thorough discussion of the implications for transnational practice and ethical standards that span a global multicultural professional context.
