Addressing Cultural Complexities in Counseling and Clinical Practice: An Intersectional Approach 4th Edition

This fourth edition's new chapters feature culturally adapted  cognitive behavioral tools and techniques, and trauma due to racism and  other systemic forms of oppression. It remains richly illustrated with  case material, with many new vignettes and examples demonstrating the  ADDRESSING framework in both counseling and clinical practice. Other new  material includes updated discussion of gender identity, with attention  to clinically relevant research regarding transgender and nonbinary  people, more on people with disabilities (the largest minority group in  the U.S.), the latest terminology and language regarding diverse  minority groups, and a special section on social justice and its  relationship to therapeutic practice.

In an increasingly diverse  society, mental health providers must be able to work effectively with a  wide variety of clients. The ADDRESSING framework shows clinicians and  counselors how to take into account age and generational influences,  developmental or other disability, religion and spirituality, ethnic and  racial identity, Indigenous heritage, national origin, socioeconomic  status, sexual orientation, and gender. Each chapter includes Key Ideas  summaries and practice exercises, making this book ideal for personal,  educational, or group use.
