Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory and Practice (7th Edition) – eBook

The normal bearing guide for multicultural counseling courses now improved with research-based, topical, and pedagogical refinements

Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory and Practice, 7^th Edition, (ePub/PDF) is the new update to the seminal work on multicultural counseling. From writer Derald Wing Sue – one of the most quoted multicultural scholars in the United States – this inclusive work includes current research, scientific and cultural theoretical formations, and expanded exploration of internalized racism. Complete with real-world examples, this ebook explains why conversations revolving around racial issues remain so hard, and offers specific techniques and advice for leading productive and forthright discussions. The new 7th edition emphasizes essential instructor and college student needs to assist a greater course-centric focus.

In response to user feedback and the latest available research, the latest seventh edition reflects:

• Updated Presentation to allow students more time to assess and analyze rather than read the more detailed text
• Easier contrast between and among groups made possible by updating population-specific chapters to use usual topical headings (when possible).
• Extensive attention to the emotional nature of the content so that the strong emotive reaction of students to the material does not stop self-exploration (a necessary component of cultural competence in the helping professions).
• New advances and significant changes, like expanded coverage of internalized racism, cultural humility, social justice/advocacy skills, expansion of microaggression coverage to other marginalized groups, recent research and thinking on evidence-based practice, and new approaches to work with particular populations.
• Most recent work in multicultural mental health practice including careful consideration of the multicultural guidelines offered by the American Psychological Association and the draft guidelines for Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies (MSJCC) (2015) from the American Counseling Association’s Revision Committee.

• Renewed commitment to extensiveness. As compared to other texts in the area, CCD discovers and covers nearly all major multicultural counseling topics in the profession. Certainly, reviewers believed it the most inclusive of the texts published and leads in coverage of microaggressions in counseling, social justice approaches to counseling, implications of indigenous healing, interracial/interethnic counseling, racial identity development, the sociopolitical nature of counseling, and cultural use of evidence-based practice.
• Strengthened Pedagogy in every chapter with material to ease experiential activities and discussion and to help students understand the material including broad Chapter Objectives and more particular and oftentimes controversial Reflection and Discussion Questions. Each chapter opens with a longer narrative, clinical vignette, or situational example that previews the key concepts and issues discussed in the chapter. The Chapter Focus Questions serve as reminders to address the opening ‘course objectives,’ but these questions not only review the content to be covered but are cast in such a way as to allow trainers and instructors to use them as discussion questions throughout the workshop or course. We have reserved the ‘Implications for Clinical Practice’ sections and included a new Summary after every section. Instructor’s Handbook has been expanded and strengthened to provide guidance on teaching the course, foreseeing resistances, conquering them, and providing exercises that could be used such as case studies, tours/visits, videos/movies, group activities, and other pedagogy that will ease learning.

Providing the perfect blend of theory and practice, this classic text assists readers to overcome the discomfort linked with discussions of race, provides real-world examples of how to discuss diversity and difference honestly and openly, and closely examines the unwritten and hidden rules that dictate many aspects of diversity in today’s world.
