Dr. Juliet Dinkha Co-Authors Book with Alumna Nourah Al Enezi and Natasha Sharma

AUK research affiliate and licensed clinical psychologist, Dr. Juliet Dinkha co-authored a book with AUK alumna and child-life specialist, Nourah Al Enezi; and psychotherapist and mental health counselor, Natasha Sharma. The book is titled, “Parents, Children, Teens, and Psychological Viewpoints on Parenting Practices in Kuwait and Greece.”  
 
The book synopsis reads as follows, “Stories make up our lives, from birth till the end, they help us make sense of ourselves, others, and experiences in the world. Throughout this book, the authors explore one of the most vital of stories, childhood and child-rearing with individuals from Greece and the Middle East. Each story shares a unique and subjective insight into the realm of parenting. What is parenting and how does it differ? The authors examine the unique cultural norms, generational disparities, childhood experiences, and trauma that play a role in parenting. They offer a depth of insight into childhood needs and include tales from families sharing their perspectives. The authors invite readers to join them on an explorative journey to the East, where narratives meet scientific literature providing a close view into different homes and worlds.”  
 
The publication of this book is a testament for such a collaboration that speaks to the high level of intellectual engagement that AUK fosters through its academic setting.
