This is the first book to explore the experiences of people of
color in counseling from the perspective of individuals who are
practicing counselors and were previously clients in counseling
themselves. Marbley conducted a research study in which she
interviewed eight individuals representing each of the major groups
of color in the United States - African American, Asian and Asian
American, Hispanic/Latino, and American Indian - to obtain the
stories of their experiences in their own words. These stories
provide insight into the problems in and failures of counseling
services provided to people of color. She quotes extensively from
these interviews throughout the book, using the voices of the
participants to highlight these shortcomings and personalize her
discussion of the issues they have faced. A chapter is devoted to
each of the groups of color, as well as one to counseling issues
related to gender. These chapters provide an overview of the
literature on the historical experiences of these groups in mental
health and a discussion of the counselors' experiences, and
conclude with implications and recommendations for counseling and
psychotherapy with these groups. Information from follow-up
interviews conducted 12 years after the original ones are also
provided to compare and contrast the participants' responses to
their earlier ones. Marbley concludes with a look at the need for a
social justice movement within the mental health field in order to
improve the experiences of and outcomes for people of color.
