This book is long overdue, at last some cultural sensitivity to counseling and the issues around dealing with other world views. Pathology does have a cultural element, but not all perspectives are considered pathology. Being an individualist in an American society is a disability if you have no experience or sensitivity to persons who think in a collective way. For a Hispanic or Native American, the idea of the community has a deeper value to be considered as far as counseling is concerned.
This book examines the cross sections of diversity and explores the limitation of counselors and the need for cultural education for counselors.
I had to read this as a textbook, but I like the book. I think that is it certainly time to research these perspectives in order to become better counselors for the culturally diverse population at hand.

I'm not exaggerating. I was forced to read this book for a 'multicultural issues in counseling' course, and it was physically painful for me to move my eyes over the lines of vitriol spewed forth by this terrible twosome. It is an unfortunate and bewildering regression to times past, to unabashed racism, ignorance and hatred, ironically cloaked in a textbook purporting to alleviate the same. Any college or university employing a professor who lists this garbage on his or her syllabus should be sued for discrimination.
