Synopsis

This is the first comprehensive guide to culturally alert counseling, complete with a companion demonstration DVD, that is readable and experiential. Editor Garrett J. McAuliffe expands the traditional "definition" of multicultural counseling from the usual two categories of race and ethnicity to eight categories that include: race, ethnicity, gender, religion/spirituality, class, and sexual orientation. With case vignettes and interactive activities, students will be informed, moved, and changed by the encounters with culture that lie in these pages.
