Addressing Cultural Complexities in Practice: A Framework for Clinicians and Counselors moves beyond unidimensional concepts of identity to an understanding of the multiplicity of cultural influences that work to form each of us. The true experience of identity is complex and contextual. A person is not simply Latino or gay, Asian American or a person with a disability, an older American or a refugee. Rather, one or any combination of these identities may be salient for a particular individual in a given context. Pamela A. Hays offers the ADDRESSING framework for recognizing and working with cultural influences -- helping readers understand identity as a multidimensional combination of age, developmental and acquired disabilities, religion, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, indigenous heritage, national origin, and gender. Engagingly written and featuring a variety of case examples, this book combines the latest research with vignettes from the author's own practice. Each chapter's contents are summarized in "Key Idea" tables, which facilitates use of the guidelines in the classroom as well as in the clinic. Unlike other books on therapy with diverse clients, which tend to focus on working with one particular ethnic group, Addressing Cultural Complexities in Practice provides a framework that can be used with a person of any cultural identity. This thought-provoking book will be invaluable to counselors, clinicians, and any professional working with clients from a variety of diverse backgrounds.

ADDRESSING framework,
This review is from: Addressing Cultural Complexities in Practice: A Framework for Clinicians and Counselors (Hardcover)
easy to read, sometimes oversimplified for the experienced clinician
Hays presents a new way of looking at the therapist-client relationship through the "ADDRESSING" framework, each letter emphasizing a different dimension of the therapist's and client's life

I have used this text several time as the basis for a class I teach, "Social and Cultural Foundations of Counseling". Students explore both their own identity and practice interview individuals from other cultures. Students enjoy the reading and state that it is very useful in their work and studies.
