WINTER 2006 SPECIAL ISSUE:
"CULTURE, RACE, AND ETHNICITY IN PSYCHOTHERAPY"
GUEST EDITORS:
FREDERICK T. L. LEONG AND STEVEN R. LOPEZ
IN HIS INTRODUCTION TO THE ISSUE, EDITOR GELSO WRITES,
"Not only did this seem like a vital topic for the field of psychotherapy, and a topic that has been increasingly examined in recent years, but to my mind it appeared that the time was right for the field to move beyond admonition, beyond the recommendation that therapists be attentive and responsive to culture, race, and ethncity when doing psychotherapy. It seemed to me that what was most needed at this point in time were articles that probed how culture, race, and ethnicity actually displayed themselves in the process of psychotherpay, as well as ways in which their doing so affected the process and outcome of treatment. In a word, what I hoped for were articles that probed the inner workings of psychotherpay around culture, race, and ethnicity... I do want to take this opportunity to thank Guest Editors, Fred Leong and Steve Lopez, who worked long, hard, and effectively in organizing the Special Issue... I expect this Special Issue of Psychotherapy to have an impact on both science and practice as related to the topics of culture, race, and ethnicity in psychotherapy." (p. 377)
