      abstract = {This book applies the concept of cultural safety to the  field of health psychology in a US context as a means to  achieve health equity. First developed in New Zealand by  Maori midwives, cultural safety can be understood as both a  philosophy and a way of working within a social model of  health as an alternative approach to understanding health  and illness. Health, social, and human service  professionals are at the forefront of interactions with a  range of people who often experience disparities in health  and social outcomes. In thirteen chapters, the authors  explore the social determinants of health; the practices  and pitfalls of intercultural communication; and community  capacity, resilience, and strengths as correctives to  discourses of deficiency. The book concludes with a  comparative look at cultural safety in different national  contexts, and a discussion of the value of critical  reflective practice. Complete with chapter objectives,  scenarios, suggested readings and films, and questions for  critical thinking, this book is an invaluable resource for  students and practitioners alike in health psychology and  related fields, and a vital contribution to the literature  on cultural safety. Pauline B. Thompson is Professor of  Psychology at Pennsylvania State University, USA. Kerry  Taylor is Associate Professor at the College of Medicine  and Public Health at Flinders University in South  Australia.},
