Counseling the Culturally Diverse - 9th Edition by Derald Wing Sue & David Sue & Helen A Neville & Laura Smith (Paperback)

About the Book

"For over four decades, Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory and Practice (CCD) has been considered the "gold standard" in culturally competent mental health care. Its cutting-edge presentation of multicultural counseling and therapy (MCT) is used in an overwhelming majority of graduate training programs in counseling and clinical psychology, and it has produced generations of culturally sensitive mental health practitioners. It now forms the multicultural knowledge base of licensing and certification exams at both the masters and the doctoral levels in psychology. In 2021, Social Science Space identified the book as one of the most important works across social science disciplines that has contributed to the ongoing need to understand, analyze, resist, and dismantle racism, bias, and bigotry. In essence, CCD has become a "classic" in the field of mental health practice, and leads the profession in the theory, research, and practice of MCT. CCD upholds the highest standards of scholarship, and is the most frequently cited source in multicultural psychology and mental health. The expert and global perspectives of the four co-authors, each active researchers and practitioners in the field, strengthen the newly minted ninth edition of CCD. As a result, instructors will note the continued fresh, scholarly, and exciting perspective in the content of CCD, as it continues to rank as the most up-to- date text in the field"--
