Index.ReviewsI like the boxed or offset personal stories and examples that are given in the text. Such examples make the text live and can illustrate the multiple identities and issues faced by clients and counselors. I think that counselors in-training will pay more attention to such case examples, since they are always looking for ways to implement multicultural counseling.
