Stress Counselling in South West London Sustainable Empowerment UK
Today's Mental Health practices require professionals to incorporate cultural and intercultural thinking. This work aims to reflect on this need and contribute with a new approach in the care of immigrants and all kinds of transcultural situations or problems in our clinical work.
The unequal economic globalization has generated massive migrations from South to North and from East to West, in order to seek better living conditions and thus be able to help their families who remained in their countries of origin. Societies are mentis and some communities, faced with the fear of the immigrant, are withdrawing on themselves. Despite this, societies are transforming culturally. In this movement, interculturality with the different other becomes more necessary, since exchange, contact and permanent coexistence with the immigrant is already among us and is part of our daily reality, and not as something fleeting that is going to leave, Counselling in West London.
This recent and new situation in Mediterranean Europe forces Mental Health professionals to reflect on their traditional theoretical models, on their unique truths, and on the need to incorporate a new cultural and cross-cultural thought and practice.
The work offers a series of instruments to help this change, which I consider to be the Fifth Revolution in Psychology and Psychiatry:
Psychotherapy applied to multicultural societies: Psychotherapy in West London.
Current thinking on: culture, systemic family therapy, social constructionism, and cross-cultural psychotherapy.
Culture and cultural thought
Psychology, Sociology and Anthropology have formulated different definitions of Culture since people hold different points of view of themselves and their environment, based on the cultural constructions that exist in a given society.
Psychiatry and Psychology have slowly approached Anthropology in recent decades to integrate in their theory and practice, the application of the idea of culture to work with the different other, Counselling in South West London.
Culture until very recent dates has not been conceived as an inherent aspect of the human being. It has always been observed as separate from nature, which is false. Human beings are biological, family and cultural beings. The divorce between Natural and Biological Sciences and Cultural Sciences comes especially from the Cartesian model, a rationalist model that states that the physical world is separated from the cognitive world, giving rise to a dualistic vision of the world. For example: Body-Mind, Nature-Culture, Individual-Society, which emphasizes the fragmentation in the study of man in this case, between the Cultural Sciences and the Natural Sciences.
Today we have managed to reconnect the two cerebral hemispheres that allow us to make the old contradictions of Cartesian dualism compatible and interacting, which appeared as unsolvable. Today no one can speak in terms or tight concepts like Biology-Culture. states that all systems overlap interacting and are constituted each by taking something from the other through social practice. The Superior Primate could never have developed in Hommo Sapiens,
The outsourcing of information has had fundamental consequences for the design of life. One of the consequences of this discovery has been the development of the Culture, which was accompanied by a greater biological adaptation (growth of the size of the brain and greater development of the phonation apparatus).
Therefore it is wrong to oppose Culture to Human Nature. Culture is part of Human Nature and Human Nature is part of Culture. The process of acquiring knowledge and its use requires more than a brain and a linguistic apparatus, it requires interactive learning by the person in a long and arduous process,

One of the advantages generated by the development of extrinsic knowledge systems was the possibility of storing them indefinitely and transmitting it to others, without the need to constantly build the Culture, since no individual could have only expected to acquire this knowledge in the course of time. Let's think about the number of languages that exist in the world and the wealth of knowledge accumulated in millennia. Without this external knowledge, man could not have survived.
Our possibility of accessing a real world is through the ideas we have of this world. This knowledge has allowed us to build everything from clothes, furniture to computers and cars. However, it has not allowed the human being to answer clearly and validly the question of why he exists. Finally, cultural or belief systems have allowed man to partially answer some questions about his existe.
