Counselling The Culturally Different. Theory And Practice - Rilegato

DAVID SUE, PhD, is Professor of Psychology at Western Washington University. He is a clinical psychologist and has been the chairperson of the mental health counseling program for the last twelve years. He is an associate of the Center for Cross–Cultural Research and has conducted research on issues related to multicultural counseling and training.

Authors Derald Wing Sue and David Sue have reorganized the book to be consistent with new developments in research, theory, and practice. Major additions include a more inclusive definition of multiculturalism, the most recent statistics on the changing complexion of society and the implications for clinical practice, and a discussion of the culture–bound basis of the ACA and APA Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice. The authors continue to use a large number of clinical case studies and real–life examples to illustrate the concepts of multicultural counseling and therapy.

This vital resource also features:

• New chapters on white racial identity development; non–Western and indigenous methods of healing; and counseling women, gays/lesbians, the physically challenged, and the elderly
• Expanded coverage of multicultural family counseling/therapy, racial/cultural identity development, and becoming multiculturally competent
• Individual chapters on counseling African Americans, Asian Americans, Latino/Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans

Combining a sound conceptual framework for multicultural counseling with proven therapeutic methods for specific groups, Counseling the Culturally Different remains the best source of real–world counseling preparation for students and the most enlightened, influential guide for professionals.
