Co-author and editor Garrett J. McAuliffe expands the traditional "definition" of multicultural counseling from the usual two categories of race and ethnicity to seven groupings: race, ethnicity, gender, religion/spirituality, disability, class, and sexual orientation. With case vignettes and interactive activities, students will be informed, moved, and changed by the encounters with culture that lie in these pages. The book and companion DVD (see next title entry) encourage readers to examine the complex nature of culture and how it impacts all stages of the counseling process.

La Roche, Harvard Medical School Written by a leading expert in the field of culturally competent psychotherapeutic practice, this book presents an integrated psychotherapeutic framework designed to help students and practitioners understand, investigate and treat clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. La Roche introduces a logical theoretical model that takes into account the influence of sociopolitical, economic and cultural processes within the psychotherapeutic process. Using a three- phased psychotherapeutic model with specific clinical recommendations and suggestions for each phase, the book explores complex clinical cases that illustrate in detail each phase. Unique in its approach to and definition of the concept of cultural diversity, Cultural Psychotherapy expands the traditional ethnicity/race model to a model that examines individuals and groups according to a broader set of variables. In other words, the key to enhancing our understanding of our clients is to take into account the rich and dynamic context in which their lives develop and evolve. KEY FEATURES • Chapter focusing on how to formulate the client's issues in a culturally competent manner helps to effectively address cultural differ- ences within the psychotherapeutic process. • Chapter describing ten different psychotherapeutic strategies pres- ents methodological challenges and ideas to examine psychotherapeutic issues in a culturally-sensitive and systemic manner. • End-of-chapter summaries empha- size main points. • Useful and detailed clinical recom- mendations help clients of different backgrounds. • Psychotherapeutic efficacy of con- cepts and strategies presented work effectively with all racial and ethnic groups, including non-minorities.
