Synopsis

John Axelson's respected, broad-based text leads readers to a clear, multi-faceted understanding of people, issues, and counseling in contemporary America. Offering a complete examination of culture, including various European ethnic groups, the author presents a historical account of all groups and sub-groups. Beginning with a comprehensive examination of counseling in America's pluralistic society and profiles of various ethnocultural groups, this highly practical book discusses the major concerns of clients. Axelson has thoroughly revised the book to include they myriad changes that have taken place in society and culture, while retaining the comprehensive trilogy of people, issues, and counseling practices. The book includes a concise summary of the major constructs of traditional counseling theories; an introduction to emergent, ''synergetic'' approaches; and representative counseling excerpts that illustrate issues of importance to today's clients and today's multicultural counselors.
