First Edition

Basic Approach:

 

This book translates social justice values and multicultural theory into a practical therapeutic model for clinical/community practice. It links people across family boundaries to solve common problems. Personal and relational problems are situated in broader social issues to form a healing context.

 

Features:

• Provides tools and case examples that show students and practitioners how to translate social justice values and multicultural theory into clinical/community practice.
• Introduces a framework for recognizing the social and political contexts of privilege and oppression that shape all relationships.  
• Describes unique intervention modalities, including social justice sponsors, social education, and culture circles. 
• Teaches readers to extend their reach and impact through a community rather than isolated practitioner approach.  
• Provides a comprehensive approach to therapy which can be borrowed from or used in its entirety to implement social justice based changes within families and larger systems.
• Gives a “big-picture” vantage point from which to gain understanding, while allowing readers to integrate new practice approaches as they gain comfort.
