This book provides a comprehensive examination of the intersection
of social class and the helping professions, including examinations
of the role of social class in American culture, classism, social
class and mental health, and the American Dream. It will be a
valuable tool for practitioners in a variety of mental health
professions, providing a clearer understanding of social class as
it relates to themselves and their clients. The first section
contains an introduction to the global, historical, and
sociological aspects of class and an in-depth look at urban and
rural poverty, the middle class, and the upper class and economic
privilege. The reader will find not only an examination of these
social constructs, but also an opportunity to examine their own
experience with social class. The next section brings the reader
into the world of their clients in more specific ways, examining
the role social class plays in mental health and mental health
counseling, in the family structure and in counseling families, and
in the experiences people have throughout the educational process
and in schools. Finally, the last section of the book discusses
specific techniques and models to use in the reader's clinical
practice, including how to assess clients' experiences of class and
classism and how these experiences have shaped their worldview and
view of the self. Case studies throughout demonstrate fair and
accurate diagnosis, assessment, and treatment.
