Synopsis

As the global community becomes more interdependent, the need for a reduction in negative racial prejudice increases. Counsellors and educators can play a vital role in this process, and this comprehensive book presents a model and mechanism which will help accomplish such a goal.

The authors provide an excellent, pragmatic resource for understanding the nature of prejudice and directions for intervention that include a series of developmentally-sequenced exercises and activities. The book draws on theory and research - influential in the field of counsellor education - from counselling, psychology, education and sociology.
