Multiculturally Competent Counseling by Peter J. Boccone and Richard Parsons walks counselors in training through a phase model of practice.
This listing is the printed paperback: nothing to download, nothing to open in a browser.
How the book is built
The phases follow the counseling relationship itself: building trust with the client, naming the problem inside its cultural setting, then agreeing on goals together.
Exercises along the way build awareness of your own cultural lens as well as the client's, and the book argues that a counselor's role can extend into advocacy.
Who it's for
Written for counselor education, from school counseling to social work and psychology tracks, and matched to what CACREP accreditation asks of graduates.
From the publisher
Multiculturally Competent Counseling: Adjusting to a Client's Worldview emphasizes the critical role of cultural understanding in counseling, presenting a unique phase model to guide readers through the intricacies of multicultural counseling dynamics. It explores the influence of a client's worldview on the counseling relationship and process, arguing for the development of knowledge, skills, and sensitivity to different self-and-world views in therapy.
The book examines key topical areas such as the evolution of multiculturalism in counseling, the formation of a working alliance, the identification of issues considering cultural contexts, and goal setting with a multicultural perspective. It advocates for expanding the counselor's role beyond traditional interventions to include advocacy and continuous self-reflection to navigate the evolving cultural landscape effectively. Hands-on activities are integrated to cultivate a reader's cultural self-awareness and their understanding of others.
Designed for mental health training programs, Multiculturally Competent Counseling addresses competencies required for CACREP accreditation and is ideally suited for individuals in mental health counseling, school counseling, clinical and community psychology, and clinical social work. It serves as a comprehensive resource for those invested in developing and applying multicultural competence throughout their professional practice.
