Counseling Across Cultures, Fifth Edition provides multiple perspectives of counseling with representatives of each perspective speaking from their own viewpoint. The contributors examine the cultural context of accurate assessment and appropriate interventions in counseling, highlighting work with groups including African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, refugees, and international students. The fifth edition has enlarged its focus by adding new chapters that address school counseling, spiritual issues, multicultural aspects of health psychology, and how to conduct research in cross-cultural and multicultural counseling. A statement of primary and secondary objectives at the beginning of each chapter and a list of provocative discussion questions at the end of each chapter provide focus for the reader and structure for the faculty using this book in the classroom.
