Title
Micro ruptures and repairs in the beginning phase of cross-cultural psychotherapy
Abstract
The article discusses misunderstandings and misattunements that occur in the beginning phase of cross-cultural psychotherapy. Sources of micro ruptures are outlined, including client maladaptive patterns, therapist misunderstandings, cross-cultural misunderstandings due to cultural variations, and asymmetrical power relations involving the impact of prior experiences or current therapy practices. Multiple clinical vignettes illustrate the rupture/repair process, drawing on Safran and Muran's (2000) list of direct and indirect techniques., (C)2005 Kluwer Academic Publishers
