Narrative and Cultural Humility is an adventure story - and is any
adventure more alluring than probing the depths of the human mind?
In evocative, engaging prose, Josselson details the challenges of
encountering the complexities of a widely different culture and
inviting people to reflect on themselves. We can easily identify
with her as she tries to find her way through the maze of
interpersonal challenges. This highly readable exploration of
teaching and practicing group therapy in the Chinese context will
be illuminating to therapists in our own culture. We come away
pondering the assumptions we make when we endeavor to know another
person."-Irvin D. Yalom, author of Becoming Myself and A Matter of
Death and Life
