Publisher's Synopsis
Packed with real-world applications and excerpts from original sources, COUNSELING AND DIVERSITY addresses the three dimensions of multicultural counseling competency with a focus on understanding the constructs of oppression and the structures of power. This innovative First Edition provides an overarching framework for developing multicultural competency across the dimensions of social identity. In addition, a unique "satellite" series of monographs provide students with a thorough introduction to issues in counseling with specific populations, including Arab Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, Latino/a Americans, Native Americans, and LGBTQ Americans. Offering complete flexibility, the monographs enable instructors to choose which groups they want to discuss in their course--and the level of detail. COUNSELING IN DIVERSITY equips readers with a historical, sociopolitical, and psychological overview of each aspect of identity that will have resonance in counseling, psychotherapy, and other helping professions. It empowers readers with the knowledge and tools to be confident in counseling in a multicultural setting.
