In this update of the 2002 edition of an established text in the field of culturally-competent counseling, Lee (counselor education, U. of Maryland, College Park) introduces chapters that address clinical and ethical issues and the importance of global literacy. Following an introduction to a conceptual framework and guidelines for counseling in cross-cultural encounters, North American contributors from diverse backgrounds discuss social justice and postmodern ethical decision-making approaches to counseling clients of cultural/racial groups including interracial, older persons, sexual minorities, multicultural deaf children of hearing families, the economically disadvantaged/privileged, and military service members and their families.
