Ethics, professional conduct, risk assessment, and self-care are addressed. Throughout, the material features focus on the multicultural counseling experience and how future clinicians can better understand, connect with, and build effective treatment plans for patients from a variety of backgrounds. A comprehensive guide with a thoroughly modern and relevant focus, The Essential Guide to the Multicultural Counseling Internship is ideal for graduate-level counseling programs.
