"This fourth edition of Counseling Across Cultures is a significant revision of the previous edition; in this latest edition, the reader is provided with a comprehensive examination and review of counseling skills, techniques, and practices for working with culturally diverse individuals. . . . A very positive characteristic of this book is that each chapter begins with a statement of the primary objective and secondary objectives. . . . This book is relevant to the work of rehabilitation counselors who need knowledge, skills, and techniques to assist their clients who are from culturally diverse backgrounds. Likewise, it will serve as an excellent text for courses in sociological aspects of counseling."--Martin G.
