Practicing Multiculturalism facilitates effective multicultural practice in therapy by helping the reader internalize the principles of multiculturalism.

As an edited book, Practicing Multiculturalism represents a wide variety of perspectives while providing greater depth of coverage than is usually possible with a single-author volume. The book's focus on the internalization of multicultural principles is aided through discussion of 1) emotional reactions in multicultural scenarios, 2) values and assumptions, and 3) power, privilege, and contextual factors that impact multicultural practice. Unique content includes chapters devoted to 1) spiritual and religious diversity (including Islam), 2) activism and organizational multicultural competence, 3) classism, 4) an overview of the multicultural movement in mental health including past achievements and current controversies, 5) children's issues in a family context, 6) international students and immigrants, and 7) an ecological/contextual approach to assessment and treatment.
