Pathways to Cultural Awareness

Cultural therapy is a way of helping people cope with cultural diversity and societal inequity through the mediation of the school as a central institution for cultural transmission and maintenance.This book illustrates how cultural therapy can be applied in educational settings to promote better understanding among teachers and students. Each chapter presents a situation in which the author has been intimately involved, offering a variety of approaches to, and interpretations of, cultural therapy.

George and Louise Spindler are eminent researchers, field anthropologists, and practitioners. They have been advocates of cultural therapy in five cultures, as well as in their schools in the United States, Canada, and Germany.
