Counseling the Culturally Different: Theory and Practice Book

Continuing the work started in the original edition, this revised and updated volume explores issues relevant to the culturally different in the United States and cuts across all ethnic/racial minorities. The second edition is divided into three parts covering issues and concepts in cross-cultural counselling, counselling individual populations, and critical incidents in cross-cultural counselling. Specifically, the conceptual framework is provided to aid in understanding the minority experience in the USA, the role counselling has played with respect to larger societal forces, and the practice of cross-cultural counselling in mental health agencies, industries, public schools and correctional settings. Additionally, specific minority groups are given individual treatment to contrast similarities and differences. Major amendments to this edition (approximately 80%) are the result of current changes in the field and the authors' rethinking of earlier models of multicultural counselling.Read More
