Culture plays a major role in what we are, but also in how we help others cope with the new challenges that face everyone in a world growing "smaller and smaller."

The transpersonal theory combines all of these elements with "culture friendly" strategies that can work with a variety of people. The chapters in this book follow the transpersonal approach to group work, along with some ideas that expand on the theory.
