 From a lay reader Dec 15, 2000
By Charles M. Strauss
I first read this book several years ago. I am a professional computer scientist/applied mathematician, and have no training at all in any social science aside from history, government and anthropology courses taken in college (lo these many years ago). My interest in this book arises from the illumination that its chapters on the English, the Irish, the Italians and the Jews (the main ethnic groups in the town in which I grew up) have given to otherwise inexplicable bits of my life. For example, I could never understand why one of my Yankee friends would go into paroxysms of anger when, after inviting his daughter to Sunday dinner, she would accept, and then call with a (legitimate) excuse on Saturday; or why one of my mother's best friends, a woman of Irish descent, drove me wild for over 40 years with her teasing manner, although she clearly meant very well towards me. The pathways of social and familial relationships passed from generation to generation through the filter of ethnic heritage appears to be remarkably powerful, even in these post-melting-pot days. Read this book with an eye to self-discovery if you don't believe me!

Great research on culture. Nov 12, 2000
By Ian M. Enriquez
"Counselor and lover of life"
Finally a book that does not talk about race as a four color system. The book explores the cultural issues that face specific groups. I have used this book with my Polish, Dutch, Pilipino, Korean, French Canadian, Vietnamese, and Central American clients. I have been astounded how accurate, helpful, and insightful this research was in assisting me with my clinical work. The work covers the history of people and how it can affect people generations later through recurring patterns. This book is a great resource for those who want to learn about the vast number of cultures in America and how they are affecting by their culture, history, and family.I love Monica McGoldrick's works!

Shows how mental disorders can be culturally relative Oct 25, 1998
By O.L.
"reader153"
This is an excellent book for anyone who, among other things, questions whether American models of mental health are universally applicable and need concrete examples of how different cultures experience and manifest psychiatric disorders. Has sections on many different cultures, not only the numerically largest or economically most powerful.

The Best There Is On The Influences of Our Ancestors Jan 21, 2002
By Daniel J. Maloney
"Daniel J. Maloney"
Ethnicity and Family Therapy is quite simply the best book that exists to any interested person as well as students and professionals with a good overview of important factors to understand when dealing with differences that exist in people. I first became familiar with Monica McGoldrick about eighteen years ago. She has devoted her life's work to research and writing on the influences of ancestry and ethnicity in our contemporary lives. Every time I pick this book up (over the first and second editions), I find myself lost in it as if it is my first discovery of it and I always learn something new! A great book for a discussion group to consider.

Ethnicity and Family Therapy, third edition Mar 15, 2006
By T. Bumbalough Hays
"TRex"
This is one of the best psychology books I have ever read. Not only does it provide advice on how to treat people from certain cultures, it teaches the reader about the culture itself. This book is a marriage of cultural studies and psychology. While the book is large, the reader shouldn't be intimidated by its size. The book is broken up into several (50+) chapters and each chapter focuses on one culture. The book doesn't have to be read cover to cover. Each chapter is free standing.
