Multicultural Issues in Counseling: New Approaches to Diversity

by Courtland C. Lee (Editor)

Overview

Like its 1991 and 1997 predecessors, this book by Lee (director, Counselor Education Program, U. of Maryland at College Park) aims to present culturally responsive intervention strategies for counselors and human development professionals working with diverse client groups. Unlike those first two editions, this volume expands the concept of multiculturalism beyond the context of race and ethnicity to the issues of sexual orientation, disability, and socioeconomic disadvantage.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"Dr. Lee continues to broaden our understanding of multiculturalism and social justice from inclusive identity perspectives. This book offers current and future directions for counselor educators and practitioners."
—Patricia Arredondo, PhD

"This extraordinary collection is comprehensive in scope, ethical in its discernments, and realistic in the manner in which it informs readers navigating their own personal self-awareness journeys. The text provides wide-ranging and constructive intervention strategies that helping professionals may integrate into culturally competent practices."
—S. Kent Butler, PhD

"This fifth edition is an insightful perspective on counseling clients from diverse backgrounds in contemporary society. Undergirded by the Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies model as a framework, it tackles emergent needs of populations such as new immigrant and military communities and the evolving needs of longer recognized populations. Yet, the critical concept of intersectionality, among others, guides counselors-in-training and seasoned counselors through competency development from a holistic and ecological approach."
—Sylvia C. Nassar, PhD
