China and Mental Health

China and Mental Health offers the first comprehensive, decolonial analysis of mental health and psychotherapy in the Chinese context. Bridging China’s indigenous philosophies with the rise of Western psychology, the book shows why culturally grounded approaches are essential for meaningful healing. Written in clear, accessible language, it provides rare insight into how Western theories collide and converge with Chinese lived realities.

Ideal for multicultural counseling courses in the US, this volume is an invaluable instructional resource, complete with case studies and discussion questions that enrich classroom learning. For counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, educators, and anyone working with Chinese clients or trainees, it fills a longstanding gap by offering culturally attuned guidance found nowhere else.
