I am currently in the middle of a masters program and found this to be a well organized piece that I can come back to when needed. I highly suggest if you have any interest in humanistic, psychodynamic, feminist and/or multicultural/relational work in your therapeutic practice.

Relational–Cultural Therapy (Theories of Psychotherapy Series®) 2nd Edition, Kindle Edition
Sorry, there was a problem loading this page. Try again.
In this second edition of Relational–Cultural Therapy, Judith V. Jordan returns to explore the history, theory, and practice of relationship centered, culturally oriented psychotherapy.
Western psychological theories generally depict human development as moving from dependence to independence. In contrast, RCT is built on the premise that, throughout the lifespan, human beings grow through and toward connection, and that we need connections to flourish. This theory views isolation, at both individual and cultural levels, as a major source of suffering. The goal of the relational therapist is to deepen the therapeutic relationship and, ultimately, the client’s relationships outside of therapy. The client’s relational images—positive or negative expectations created by past relationships – influence current relationships, and a negative image can result in disconnections between people and society.
This essential primer, amply illustrated with case examples, is perfect for graduate students and seasoned practitioners alike. This new edition highlights new research on the effectiveness of RCT in a variety of real-world situations—such as developing team-building exercises in workplaces, and providing a theoretical frame for an E.U.-sponsored conference on human trafficking.
