Reviews

Counseling the Contemporary Women lives up to its title effectively through its emphasis on a wide range of present-day lifespan issues and lenses that highlight intersectionality, social justice, cultural considerations, and advocacy. Case studies bring intersectionality to life throughout the volume, and the chapters offer comprehensive, highly readable, thought-provoking, and practical insights for working with complex issues. Strengths of this volume also include its focus on the strengths as well as vulnerabilities of those who seek counseling and coverage of a variety of topics that are rarely covered in depth in counseling texts, such as women's grief and loss issues over the lifespan.--Carolyn Zerbe Enns, Cornell College Counseling the Contemporary Woman is an exciting book that will be an excellent addition for courses on gender issues, diversity and inclusion, and women's issues in counseling.--Catherine B. Roland, past-president, American Counseling Association, Ed.D., LPC, NCC It's difficult to find a book that doesn't pathologize womens' experiences and instead focuses on how counselors can effectively support women who are navigating normal developmental transitions, but this book does just that. The practical, applied focus is refreshing and brings to life the ways counselors can support and empower women as they navigate the many hurdles life presents. It is obvious the authors have a deep respect and appreciation for women's lived experiences, and their compassionate, culturally and contextually-sensitive focus makes this text a valuable resources for all counselors who counsel women.--Victoria Kress, Youngstown State University
