Review: "Story is one of the most powerful ways of creating meaning. This collection of life stories offers compelling narratives by individuals from different races, ethnic groups, religions, sexual orientations, and social classes. By weaving these stories with relevant theoretical topics, this unique textbook provides deeper levels of understanding of how cultural factors influence identity, personality, worldview, and mental health. Using a content-theme analysis, Dimensions of Multicultural Counseling: A Life Story Approach allows readers to easily grasp the relationship between multiple dimensions and the formation of identity." "This core text may be used in upper-level undergraduate or graduate courses in counseling, psychology, social work, marriage and family therapy, and human services. A valuable resource for understanding cultural factors in clinical work, it will enhance the clinical skills of mental health providers who work with diverse client populations."--BOOK JACKET.
