Review

This book is a godsend. It can be used by professors of counseling, psychology, social work, and psychiatry to help students understand and more effectively intervene on behalf of culturally diverse clients. It will also benefit practitioners. Clemmont E. Vontress, PhD Professor Emeritus of Counseling George Washington University

  The fourth edition of this book articulates contemporary challenges in multicultural counseling.  Specifically, the inclusion of issues related to working with military families, clients with disabilities, and socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals is timely and beneficial to counselors. Of particular interest is the discussion on international competencies to achieve global literacy. This text should be required for all entry-level counseling students.
