Divine Charura has contributed the chapter “The effects of an African heritage” to “The Handbook of Transcultural Counselling and Psychotherapy” edited by Colin Lago. The chapter “explores the general, historic, cultural, religious and other influences of an African heritage and considers how these influences might impact a therapeutic relationship conducted in another country where the cultural style is different.” In the chapter Divine also proposes 10 principles to consider when working with individuals of African heritage. This work is a rich resource for therapists, helping to expand our own world view and openness to the other.
