Social justice, multicultural counseling, and practice: beyond a conventional approach

This book takes a new approach to teaching students to think and learn about issues of race and diversity. It aims to break down the traditional categorizations of racial/ethnic groupings and focuses on teaching students to think andlearn in a multidimensional manner, rather than in a linear fashion. The key to the book lies in its aim to teach students to practice culturally competentcounseling by taking into consideration a client's multiple identities, such as a middle-aged, African American woman, who might be facing issues due to her racial grouping, her age and her gender. The book is filled with activities,exercises and examples that help students think about racism in a non-traditional manner, rather than the typical ways often taught, making it very timely and reflecting the transformation of thinking that is occurring in the field.
