Relevance across occupations

As a psychology student, understanding culture and integrating it into my practice is of paramount importance. Dr. Livermore excels at distinguishing between cultural intelligence and the concept known in the psychology community as cultural humility. This distinction is crucial, as it enables practitioners to approach clients with greater sensitivity and awareness. Reading this book has provided me with valuable insights into how I can incorporate cultural intelligence into my clinical work, ultimately enhancing my ability to connect with diverse populations and provide more effective support.

An eye opening book!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was an easy read but do not confuse that with simplistic. Livermore’s writing style is smooth, clear and organized. I highly recommend it!
