Review
"Culture and Counseling: New Approaches is a timely and pertinent resource for anyone involved in multicultural practice, counseling, consultation, supervision, or research. ...The collection of works within the text provide readers with a wide spectrum of material connected to culture and counseling. As there is a broad range of material covered in the text, it may be particularly useful for readers who are looking to develop a solid comprehension of culture and counseling. This is a foundation text for anyone involved in cultural practice, counseling, consultation, supervision or research."
~ Clarrice Rapisarda, M.A., Kent State University as reviewed in the International Journal for the Advancement of Counseling
"Overall, this is an exceptional book. It goes beyond many other books in the fireld by being more inclusive, inviting, and personal, and it presents a very broad appreciation of the importance and necessity of having a world view that is also inclusive, inviting, and personal. The book is an excellent text for beginning students in the field, but also provides engaging information and discussions for the seasoned counselor and educator. This text is destined to be a much-used graduate text, but also a valuable reference and resource book for experienced counselors and scholars."
~ Arthur M. Horne, The University of Georgia as reviewed in The Journal of Negro Education
