Tree of Life: An Introduction to a Culturally-Grounded Practice for International Psychologists
Deborah Anne Stiles
Webster University, United States of America
Most psychological treatments are modelled on Western assumptions which don’t account for culture. Ncube’sTree of Life approach is group-based and culturally-grounded. In Tree of Life counseling, each participant’s tree drawing becomes a metaphor which describes his/her life story. Tree drawings are shared; then all participants make positive, empowering comments.
