Reviews

Culturally Alert Counseling is quite comprehensive in that it provides material that helps students increase their self-awareness, enhance their knowledge of major cultural groups, and build their skills to intentionally address culture in the counseling exchange. --Claudette A. Brown-Smythe Every chapter in Culturally Alert Counseling addresses the essential philosophy (knowledge, awareness, and skills) of the field in a highly readable fashion. While 500 plus pages filled with extensive exercises and a wealth of recommended resources may seem a lot for a three hour course, I came away from the book knowing that I could never know all I need about this critical area because it is constantly changing. --Van Vaughn Culturally Alert Counseling is an excellent book for introductory and advanced courses on cultural competence in counseling. The authors provide many opportunities for self-reflection and growth among beginning and advanced counselors. Each chapter is very user-friendly and provides concrete examples of situations that counselors will likely face when working with diverse populations. I appreciate how this book presents the topic of cultural competence in straightforward non-biased language that both students and practitioners can appreciate. --LaTrice Montgomery Culturally Alert Counseling presents information in a 'user-friendly' manner to help students from all backgrounds become more culturally alert. --Jan M. Heinitz Culturally Alert Counseling is an excellent textbook - comprehensive, logical, and didactic while engaging students. --Helen S. Hamlet
