In this second edition of _Relational–Cultural Therapy_ (RCT), Judith V. Jordan explores the history, theory, and practice of relationship centered, culturally oriented psychotherapy. Since the first edition, RCT has been widely embraced, with new research and applications, including developing curricula in social science graduate programs, providing a theoretical frame for an E.U.-sponsored symposium, and enhancing team-building in workplaces. Throughout the lifespan, human beings all seek connections. The goal of the relational therapist is to deepen the therapeutic relationship and, ultimately, the client’s relationships outside of therapy.  This is an essential primer to relational–cultural therapy, amply illustrated with case examples.
