Reviews

The Oxford Handbook of Chinese Psychology is a massive collection of perspectives between two hard covers. It is hardly vacation reading, but its perusal can offer the interculturalist a couple of benefits. First, it provides a perspective on what is happening in psychological research that both reflects intercultural theory and perhaps challenges it and may add to it Brief Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy: A Clinician's Guide is essential reading for mental health professionals who wish to continue to work psychodynamically in the public health sector. It is an impressive and accessible protocol and, as such, is to be highly recommended to neuroscientists and psychodynamic psychotherapists alike who attempt to treat patients with mood disorders-anywhere in the world.
