Editorial Reviews
Review
"This second edition of the Handbook of Multicultural Counseling marks an important turning point. It brings together the voices of some pioneers who have paved the way, and introduces us to new voices, who, while influenced by the pioneers, have taken different paths. Because the multicultural community is well represented in content and scholarship in this second addition, the reader can be assured that the view points represented in this book speak to the core issues of the field.
I am excited about this Handbook because the authors answer the question that is often heard at many a conference: Where is the research to support multicultural counseling? I am equally excited about this Handbook because it breaks new ground by using as its anchor, oral histories, which demonstrates that for many of us multicultural counseling is not simply a research agenda, but a life long journey, that cannot always be measured. The underlying theme of social justice only reinforces our commitment to this journey.
Drs. Ponterotto, Casas, Suzuki, and Alexander have once again helped shape the multicultural conversation. To those who have often said, "Where is the research," look not further."

5.0 out of 5 stars
State of the Art,
By Edward Delgado (Gainesville, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handbook of Multicultural Counseling (Paperback)
This book embodies what multicultural counseling is all about, the state of the art. Not only are the most recent empirical findings and directions presented, but we are also treated to the real life narratives of prominent multicultural counselors (in particular I really enjoyed Janet Helms and her sense of humor). In my opinion this is the perfect melding of head and heart/soul and represents both science and art. My gratitude goes out to the 85 people who have put this important work together. This book is a must have.

This review is from: Handbook of Multicultural Counseling (Paperback)
The book offers a global perspective on multiculturalism. Showing a complex interplay of how individuals construct their identities from multiple sources. This is reinforced by a varied choice of authors who have contributed to this book.Several authors speak on their personal experiences, offering these as examples of diversity. One example is Nadya Fouad. She said that she could "pass" for white. But she also identifies strongly with her mother's Brazilian culture, and calls herself hispanic. But she also has an Arab surname. Another example was Daya Sandhu. His parents were Sikhs from Pakistan. Who had to flee to India due to discrimination from Muslims. Such examples of contributors enrich the book, by letting the reader develop an awareness of and a sensitivity to the subtleties of human backgrounds.

Good, but lacking...,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Handbook of Multicultural Counseling (Paperback)
This is a good book for those studying multicultural issues today. I don't know that I was able to glean as much information as I have gotten from other class materials and books though. It's easy to read, but to me it was lacking information that could be very useful for counselors and for studying different ethnic groups.
