Riassunto

Introduction to Multicultural Counseling for Helping Professionals is the essential introductory text in the area of multicultural counseling. Providing a broad survey of counseling techniques for different ethnic, religious and social groups, it is at once thorough and easily understood. Beyond its topic-specific sections, Introduction to Multicultural Counseling for Helping Professionals also includes chapters on the theory and history of multicultural counseling, expanded cultural resources, and an appendix explaining its interrelationship with CACREP accreditation requirements.

Now in its third edition, Introduction to Multicultural Counseling for Helping Professionals is updated and revised to reflect the changing landscape of the 21st century. It contains updated statistics on fluid demographics in the U.S., a stronger social-justice perspective throughout the text, and a new chapter on counseling undocumented immigrants. The text is supplemented with online materials, including updated PowerPoint slides with discussion questions and classroom activities, a testbank with new questions for each chapter, and a sample course syllabus, each of which is presented in an updated, more attractive layout.

Recensione

"Introduction to Multicultural Counseling for Helping Professionals is a valuable addition to the field. Written from the perspective of multicultural competence, it is practical, accessible, and yet grounded in the literature which makes it an ideal textbook for trainees. While covering the critical issues in providing effective multicultural counseling to different sub-populations, it nevertheless touches upon key principles and insights. I highly recommend this new text to faculty teaching counseling courses in the helping professions."

―Frederick T. L. Leong, PhD, professor of psychology and psychiatry and director of the MSU Consortium for Multicultural Psychology Research

"I am excited about the third edition of this book! As an assistant professor and school counselor for more than 15 years, I share great resources with graduate students and colleagues. This book is a perfect example of a valuable resource for beginning counselors and has been a required text for my multicultural counseling courses over the years. The addition of the chapter on undocumented students is critical for counselors and presents effective strategies, contemporary issues and case studies for educators to consider. The authors challenge counselors to be true change agents and activists. Are you up for the challenge?"

―Lisa C. Carr, EdD, school counselor at Bethlehem Central High School in Delmar, New York, and assistant professor at the Sage Graduate School
