Multicultural Counseling: Responding with Cultural Humility, Empathy, and Advocacy, First Edition

Multicultural Counseling: Responding with Cultural Humility, Empathy, and Advocacy is the first multicultural counseling book to use a strengths-based perspective, highlighting culture and diversity as assets to be nurtured. This innovative text equips counselors to work with clients from a wide array of marginalized populations—including immigrants, refugees, people with disabilities, gamers, polyamorous individuals, and more—using culturally responsive and anti-oppressive practices. The book emphasizes self-reflection, asking counselors to examine their own beliefs and biases to provide effective, empathetic care. Separate chapters explore both counselor and client worldviews, and provide practical guidance on culturally sensitive assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, and workplace design.
