Description



Book Synopsis



This book of essays takes an informal and, I hope, gentle look into South Asian homes, hearts, and homeland in an attempt to help mental health practitioners have a more complete understanding of their Indian clients. My aim is that these stories, anecdotes, and social and psychological sketches open the door to more pertinent clinical conversations. Just as there is no mother without a child, there is no Indian individual without the family. The focus of western psychotherapy has been on the individual and individuation. My book expands the picture to include the importance of Indian society, family, and culture as an equally, if not more important, path to helping Indian immigrant patients get more clarity from helping professionals.



Review Quotes




Whose Baby Is it Anyway? is a remarkable book. It is unlike any I have ever read. In it Kalpana Asok beautifully crafts a collection of twenty-three brief essays each addressing a different aspect of Indian culture that is alive in the day-to day-life of Indians living both within and outside of India. Each chapter is a gem that rings as true to human experience as the writing of some of the most accomplished authors of short stories. This book will be invaluable to psychotherapists working with patients from South Asia, but it is not to be mistaken for a psychotherapy manual. This is a work of art that will remain with the reader long after he or she has read its last page.
