Abstract
ABSTRACT This article aims to explore psychophysiological phenomena and dynamics associated with diversity and culture in the therapeutic relationship. Clients/patients experiences of feeling culturally met appears crucial for a successful therapeutic relationship but the historic struggle to include diversity and culture as psychological dimensions that generally warrant attention in the psychotherapeutic endeavour is ongoing. The author explores diversity and culture as psychophysiological states of being and associated presentations dynamics in therapeutic relationship, and considers ways to constructively engage with the complexities of culture and diversity in psychotherapy.
