Intercultural Parenting and Relationships “Dr. Bhugun has provided a compelling and important contribution to this otherwise under-researched area of intercultural family relationships in the 21st century. This book is grounded in empirical research and reflects Bhugun’s obvious passion for the most contemporary intercultural family social science inquiry. The chapters, herein, move all of us beyond deficit stereotypes towards a more nuanced representation of both challenges and benefits in psychotherapy, particularly in the field of couples/marital/family counseling. This enlightening and practical book offers innovations in theory and clinical practice; a highly recommended read for students and seasoned clinicians across all disciplines.” —Shari Munch, Ph.D., LCSW, Associate Professor, School of Social Work, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, USA “In this book, Dr Dharam Bhugun reflects on his longstanding clinical work and research with intercultural couples and families, and his own personal experience of the phenomenon, to provide valuable information and insights to current and future intercultural families, academics, and clinicians in the field of psychotherapy and counselling. This book could not have come at a better time where globalisation has broken barriers between human beings, and highlights the reality of intercultural relationships and parenting, including challenges, benefits and opportunities, and great strategies and advice for successful management of family discourses. The intimate testimonies, drawn from the lived experiences of intercultural couples, are the highlight of this book.” —Rajen Vurdien, Ph.D., M.Ed., M.A., B.A., Superintendent-President of Pasadena College, Pasadena, CA, USA
