Summary:

In Consultation for Contemporary Helping Professionals, traditional models of consulting are presented, critically examined, and reworked to incorporate issues of race and gender into their respective theoretical principles.

This new text engages readers on deep personal and professional levels while filling critical holes in the preparation of mental health professionals to conduct professional consultation. In staying true to the emphasis in the helping professions on relationships, this text places strong emphasis on identifying and analyzing the numerous and complex relationships that emerge in consultation theory and real-world consultation practice.
