- Dialogues on Difference: Studies of Diversity in the Therapeutic Relationship
- Edited by J. Christopher Muran, PhD
- ISBN: 978-1-59147-451-7
- Publication Date: September 2006
- In this series of creative scholarly essays arranged in eight "dialogues," leading clinicians wrestle with questions of race, culture, gender, and sexuality as they apply to the therapeutic relationship. Each dialogue begins with an original chapter contribution by a clinician that includes a detailed discussion of the psychotherapeutic process, especially with regard to the negotiation of complex and difficult interactions between patient and therapist. Scholars with differing personal and professional backgrounds then offer chapters that develop ideas presented in the opening chapter, and in a closing chapter, the clinician who initiated the dialogue provides some synthesis and elaboration in response.

- The Glass Ceiling in the 21st Century: Understanding Barriers to Gender Equality
- Edited by Manuela Barreto, PhD; Michelle K. Ryan, PhD; and Michael T. Schmitt, PhD
- ISBN: 978-1-4338-0409-0
- Publication Date: November 2008
- In this volume, leading psychologists from the United States, Canada, and the European Union go beyond social commentary, anecdotal evidence and raw statistics to explain and offer remedies for this continued inequality, based on empirical evidence. Subtle barriers to women's advancement to and success in leadership positions are a major focus, such as women being recruited for upper-level positions that are associated with a high risk of failure or women managers being stereotyped as either competent or warm (but not both). Solutions that can be practically implemented are offered at different levels of analysis, including organizational (e.g., affirmative action), work group (e.g., diversity management), and individual (e.g., cross-cultural networking).
- Inclusive Cultural Empathy: Making Relationships Central in Counseling and Psychotherapy
- By Paul B. Pedersen, PhD; Hugh C. Crethar, PhD; and Jon Carlson, PsyD, EdD
- Publication Date: January 2008
- The authors present a broad definition of culture—to include nationality, ethnicity, language, age, gender, socioeconomic status, family roles, and other affiliations—and engage the reader with lively examples and exercises that can be adapted for classroom, supervision groups, or individual use. With this book readers will learn how to help clients explore, discover, and leverage those internalized voices of their "culture teachers" that teach us who we are, how to behave, and how to resolve our problems or find life balance.
