Spirits in the Consulting Room Eight Tales of Healing

"This wonderful book is a compelling invitation to listen closely, not only to the complexity of human narratives of suffering, but also to the way they weave across cultural and social divides. The plurality and beauty of the stories evoked here contribute to this weaving, building bridges between universal culture and the individual human experience. An inspiring book, worth fully inhabiting and meditating upon, which also provides critical tools we can use to improve our healing practices."- Cécile Rousseau, co-editor of Working with Refugee Families: Trauma and Exile in Family Relationships
"The Spirits in the Consulting Room is a must-read for all who wish to immerse themselves in eight heart-wrenching cases that rely on transcultural or intercultural mediation in healthcare.

T. de V. Souza, author of Intercultural Mediation in Healthcare: From the Professional Medical Interpreters' Perspec
