counseling diversity in context

Wellness is an important goal of counseling work, but its limits are reached more quickly for individuals living in disadvantaged circumstances. How can counselors effectively address underlying inequalities? Counseling Diversity in Context outlines both the possibilities and limitations of the profession, providing not only a structural understanding of the context in which cross-cultural counseling takes place, but a model for counselors to play a more active role in helping to change that context.

The book explores themes of oppression and liberation as well as the categories and forces that help and hinder communities. Specific examples of community change are included, followed by key principles that can be applied within various organizations and programs.
