This practical handbook focuses on the practice of multicultural counseling in K-12 school settings.

Noted authorities in multicultural counseling contribute chapters that cover important topics such as promoting academic achievement, individual counseling, group counseling, family consultation, career development, violence prevention, training, and consultation. Unlike other multicultural books, the text provides information that is racial-ethnic specific, but also goes further to provide general principles of multicultural practice that are illustrated by reference to one or more racial-ethnic groups. Current theory and research are clearly reviewed with direct reference to the improvement of practice.

  • Primary and Secondary Instructional Objectives and Discussion Questions appear in each chapter.
  • Needs-assessment of multicultural compentencies for awareness, knowledge, and skill in the school context (Chs. 10, 11, 14).
  • Family-centered model of multicultural school counseling (Chs. 4, 5, 6, 7).
  • Training exercises for counselors working in school settings (Ch. 11).

  • 3 entirely NEW Chapters!

    • “School Counselor Involvement in Culture-Centered Education Reform” (Ch. 1).

    • “Multicultural Counseling with Immigrant Students in Schools” (Ch. 5).

    • “Counseling Approaches to Working with Students with Disabilities from Diverse Backgrounds” (Ch. 13).

  • All chapters revised to include current theory and research with implications for better practice.
