Reviews

Filled with case studies and self-reflection opportunities, this book is one of the first to provide readers with a comprehensive examination of what is sometimes called the hidden dimension of multicultural counseling, 'class.' A readable text that offers a broad range of information, it will be an important addition to the student's understanding of how class intersects with culture. - Edward Neukrug, PhD, Professor, Department of Counseling and Human Services, Old Dominion University I believe this book will be an excellent addition to the multicultural literature for helping professionals. Each chapter provides a unique and critical perspective for professional counselors to consider in their work with clients. The case studies provided do an excellent job at highlighting how the issue being discussed plays out in the applied world of counseling. John R. Culbreth, PhD, Professor and Doctoral Program Coordinator, Department of Counseling, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
