Review:

"The chapters in this book cover some groups not often covered in diversity writings. Via personal stories, observations, and rich case examples from their own experience, the authors pull the reader in - and help the reader see from new, instructive, and informative perspectives." - L. DiAnne Borders, PhD, Professor and Chair, Department of Counseling and Educational Development, University of North Carolina at Greensboro "This outstanding text provides the mental health practitioner with a comprehensive exposure to the knowledge and cultural characteristics necessary for success in working with diversity. A careful reading of this book Is an excellent base for those who seek to understand and assist members of diverse populations." - Richard M. Canada, EdD, Professor, College of Education, Texas A&M University Corpus Christi
