Review Quotes:
This is an outstanding monograph on the medical and psychological considerations clinicians must keep in mind when caring for a person who has immigrated to a land with different customs and lifestyles. The book offers insights that
clinicians usually are not exposed to in their training programs. The book also is a tremendous asset for clinicians who participate in medical missions to developing areas, sensitizing them to the cultures they may not have experience
with.
