We all know the importance of training our students to become culturally competent practitioners but our texts don't demonstrate how to skillfully effect therapeutic change. The case examples are going to really make this text notable. Professional therapists and scholars are going to share firsthand experiences with working with the culturally diverse groups. More importantly, they are going to introduce their theoretical orientation AND walk the reader through the tenets of the Culturally Adaptive Model so that the reader conceptualizes the client's issues and helps the client resolve his/her issues., "This text is practice and evidence-based.

More importantly, they are going to introduce their theoretical orientation AND walk the reader through the tenets of the Culturally Adaptive Model so that the reader conceptualizes the client's issues - and helps the client resolve his/her issues., The emphasis of this text on practitioner self-awareness, knowledge of diverse groups, practice-based evidence, and the proposed cases of practice-based evidence approaches with various ethnocultural populations will be very valuable. It fills an important gap in the current materials available for multicultural counseling courses.
