Summary expansion

• A psychologist now working in Alaska, Hays draws on her research and practice with a wide variety of populations to examine the multiplicity of cultural influences that work to form each person. Someone is not simply Latino or gay, an older American or a refugee, she argues, but one or any combination of such identities may be salient for a particular individual in a given context.

• Addressing Cultural Complexities in Practice moves beyond unidimensional concepts of identity to an understanding of the multiplicity of cultural influences that work to form each of us. The true experience of identity is complex and contextual. A person is not simply Latino or gay, Asian American or a person with a disability, an older American or a refugee. Rather, one or any combination of these identities may be salient for a particular individual in a given context. Pamela A. Hays offers the Addressing framework for recognizing and working with cultural influences -- helping readers understand identity as a multidimensional combination of Age, Developmental and acquired Disabilities, Religion, Ethnicity, Socioeconomic status, Sexual orientation, Indigenous heritage, National origin, and Gender
