This textbook was used in a Multicultural Counseling course that I was enrolled in. Having worked for years with individuals with disabilities (mostly mental health disorders) from various ethnic, sexual orientation and SES backgrounds, I had been looking forward to this course. However, I was disappointed by this textbook's overall content. I felt that some sections were very limited and contained little information on positive ways to interact and support individuals. Some populations seemed to be overrepresented and most of the information wasn't surprising to me. In fact, I felt that most of the material were common sense, "heard it before" commentary.

This book is easy to read and covers the subject with compassion and in depth. There are some generalizations made about cultural groups but that is impossible to avoid. This is a good place to start if you have never thought about how your own culture affects how you work with clients and gives good advice for techniques to use with culturally diverse clients. It is a good start.
