Professor Eunjung Lee is the
representative for Social Work on the Ethnic and Pluralism Studies
Graduate Collaborative Program Committee for 2008-2009. She is a PhD
candidate at the Smith College School for Social Work. As a clinician
in community social services and mental health agencies over 15 years,
she has valuable experience and resources in social work practice
across different settings and diverse population. She was also trained
in the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program (PPTP) at the Western
Branch of Canadian Psychoanalytic Society for her in-depth clinical
skills as well as close observation of human development through an
intensive infant observation seminar. Her primary research interest is
on cross-cultural psychotherapy process. In her dissertation study, she
attempted to develop a better conceptualization for cultural competence
in a form that accurately reflects dynamics involved in clinical social
work practice between clinicians and clients who are of different
cultures. By analyzing actual clinical practice sessions, this study
aims to develop a cross-cultural psychotherapy process model for
clinicians in social work and related fields.
