Culturally Alert Counseling: A Comprehensive Introduction is a reader-friendly introduction to the cultural dimensions of counseling and psychotherapy. Editor Garrett McAuliffe, along with international experts in their fields, provides an accessible presentation of culturally alert counseling techniques that broadens the discussion of culture from ethnicity and race to include social class, religion, gender, and sexual orientation. Culture is defined broadly in the text, which features a mindful exploration of seven ethnic groupings, inclusive of all people within dominant and non-dominant cultural groups. The extensively revised Third Edition includes two new chapters on counseling immigrants and refugees and counseling military populations, exposing students to complex cultural developments. With the help of this text, readers will leave informed and ready to begin practice equipped with both a vision of the work and practical skills for effectively implementing it.
Reviews / Votes
"Culturally Alert Counseling is quite comprehensive in that it provides material that helps students increase their self-awareness, enhance their knowledge of major cultural groups, and build their skills to intentionally address culture in the counseling exchange." -- Claudette A. Brown-Smythe "Culturally Alert Counseling is an excellent textbook - comprehensive, logical, and didactic while engaging students." -- Helen S. Hamlet "Culturally Alert Counseling presents information in a 'user-friendly' manner to help students from all backgrounds become more culturally alert." -- Jan M. Heinitz "Culturally Alert Counseling is an excellent book for introductory and advanced courses on cultural competence in counseling. The authors provide many opportunities for self-reflection and growth among beginning and advanced counselors. Each chapter is very user-friendly and provides concrete examples of situations that counselors will likely face when working with diverse populations. I appreciate how this book presents the topic of cultural competence in straightforward non-biased language that both students and practitioners can appreciate." -- LaTrice Montgomery "Every chapter in Culturally Alert Counseling addresses the essential philosophy (knowledge, awareness, and skills) of the field in a highly readable fashion. While 500 plus pages filled with extensive exercises and a wealth of recommended resources may seem a lot for a three hour course, I came away from the book knowing that I could never know all I need about this critical area because it is constantly changing." -- Van VaughnMore details
