Material Detail

Since its publication in 1981, Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory and Practice (CCD) has become a classic in its field, used in nearly 50 percent of graduate training programs in counseling, and now forms part of the multicultural knowledge base of licensing and certification exams. It continues to lead the field in the theory, research, and practice of multicultural counseling/therapy, and upholds the highest standards of scholarship; it is the most frequently cited text in multicultural psychology and ethnic minority mental health. We believe that the success of CCD is related to its (1) integrated conceptual framework, (2) up-todate coverage of research in the field, (3) ability to actively address clinical applications through translating research and concepts to practice, (4) use of numerous examples, vignettes, and case studies that add life and meaning to the material, (5) engaging writing style, and (6) passionate style of communication—hard hitting, intense, and challenging. The 14 specific population chapters, including several new ones, continue to be hailed as among the best thumbnail sketches of how multicultural counseling relates to the various marginalized populations in our society.

The fifth edition of CCD does not change its basic formula, which continues to make it a success in the academic and clinical markets. There are significant revisions, however, that reflect changes in the field and new frontiers of importance to the mental health professions. Major updating of references, the introduction of new research and concepts, and future directions in counseling, therapy, and mental health are reflected in the fifth edition.
