Gain Multicultural Counseling Skills with a Systems-Based Approach

Benign_Sentient: This book doesn't take sides very much, which is probably my favorite part. It paints a picture of diversity in many facets and how the many identities carried by every human in society give all of us a host of different privileges and setbacks that is different for every person.

I was confused when reading many of the negative reviews for this book. Maybe if you only read the first paragraph of every chapter you may think "oh, white privilege is a thing" and you'd be correct to assume as much? Maybe you could argue "hey, I'm white and I'm still poor and marginalized" and you'd still be correct because this book does incorporate socio-economic status and disability into its framework.

Overall, this book is an insightful synopsis on the nature of identity in society and how it is complex and interwoven in many beautiful and sometimes difficult ways. It doesn't touch on social justice nor does it push a political agenda, don't let the negative comments dissuade you!

NyFlNcVa: Like new and just what I needed for my class. Saw many reviews about the content of the book and they weren’t good however I just need it for a class. Not taking the information to heart. Fast shipper.
