CULTURALLY COMPETENT PRACTICE, 1/e broke new ground in cultural competence by presenting a model for understanding, measuring, and evaluating cultural competence. In the 2/e, this model as well as the book's practical, experiential approach and numerous exercises continue to make it informative and accessible to students at all levels. This second edition contains new, contributed chapters about diverse populations. The book not only presents cultural differences, but also explains why cultural competence is important to human service professionals, and demonstrates how to develop skills necessary to become culturally competent.

Review:

"Its outstanding features are: 1) its comprehensiveness in covering all aspects of cultural competence, 2) the thoroughness with which the chapters on oppressed groups are covered." "This text is comprehensive and very easy to read. There are case examples, tools for student learning in every chapter that allow the reader to follow the author's cultural competence framework which leads into Part II on diverse groups. The text also addresses new dimensions of diversity as the fabric of America changes in the twenty-first century."
