Synopsis

Developing Multicultural Counseling Competence gives graduate students preparing to become counselors—and counselors new to their professions—innovative, evidence-based guidance for becoming multiculturally competent counselors. Comprehensive, thoughtful, and in-depth, the book takes readers beyond general discussions of race and ethnicity into the realm of a broader, more complex view of multiculturalism and social advocacy in clients’ and trainees’ lives. Included are engaging, self-reflective activities, discussion questions, case inserts, practitioner and client perspectives, and study aids—all designed to help readers see opportunities for experiential learning related to cultural diversity considerations and social advocacy issues within clients’ social systems.
