What people are saying - Write a review
The title is both theory and practice but it is relatively thin on theory. While many prospective students of Counseling might see this as a benefit, less theoretical work means there is less foundation for current practice to develop as a professional body of knowledge.
I would nominate William Cross, Jr. and his theory of Black Identity Development as the most important theory discussed in this text as it is the most productive one introduced. It is clear from the text this is the model from which many more develop and it also demonstrates within the text how this theoretical work has been debated and revised over time.
The chapters tied specifically to different populations of clients within the U.S. have a repetitiveness that becomes predictable and are short in break through insights.
The examples provided for introducing new chapters often are about worthwhile issues but the views that challenge those of the authors are typically straw figures.
This is one of the more common texts in this field of Counseling. It is more than a little worrying, given all rapid development of challenges along these lines, the text feels as though it is largely coasting on past insights. There is little in the way of openings as to where the best next steps in moving forward might be. It is more cu de sac than a bridge in that respect.
We need a next generation of skilled, determined and technically proficient set of leaders for this important corner of the profession.

This book is informative. I am a minority and I found it rather refreshing. The theories presented in the book are not very elaborate, but they do give you much food for thought. i thought my class would be boring but I am finding the book extremely useful and helpful in addressing many issues I grew up with that I have never heard explicitly stated. The book will make you uncomfortable, but it is provides a good way to get outside of your comfort zone.
