Many societal and cultural changes have taken place over the past
several decades, almost all of which have had a significant effect
on the mental health professions. Clinicians find themselves
encountering clients from highly diverse backgrounds more and more
often, increasing the need for a knowledge of cross-cultural
competencies. Ellis and Carlson have brought together some of the
leaders in the field of multicultural counseling to create a text
for mental health professionals that not only addresses diversity
but also emphasizes the counselor's role as an advocate of social
justice. The theoretical foundation for this book rests on research
into diversity, spirituality, religion, and color-specific issues.
Each chapter addresses the unique needs and relevant issues in
working with a specific population, such as women, men, African
Americans, Asian Americans, Spanish-speaking clients, North
America's indigenous people, members of the LGBT community, new
citizens, and the poor, underserved, and underrepresented. Issues
that enter into the counselor-patient relationship are discussed in
detail for all of these groups, with the hope that this will lead
to a greater understanding and sensitivity on the part of the
counselor for their patients. This is an important and timely book
for both counselors-in-training and those already established as
professionals in today's highly diverse and constantly-changing
society.
