Synopsis

This text is intended to be of use in enabling helpers to improve their effectiveness in counselling through learning values held and attitudes frequently associated with each population. This updated third edition adds a chapter on "Getting in Touch with Your Heritage" and covers 12 specific populations: older order Amish; Asian Americans; older persons; Mexican Americans; gay, lesbian and bisexual populations; Native Americans; single parents; African Americans; people with physical disabilities; Southeast Asian refugees; Cuban Americans; and women entering or reentering the work force.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The purpose of this book is to expose students of the helping professions, counselors, teachers, college professors, mental health workers, and social workers to the unique characteristics of representative American subgroups and to effectively assist these same professionals as they work with clients and/or students from these populations. These are grouped by race, gender, sexuality, age, physical limitations and lifestyle etc. The author of each chapter is both a trained helping professional and a member of the group in question. This unique combination of qualifications lends both an academic and a personal perspective to the understanding of the populations represented.
