Can a counselor's or client's culture affect the counseling process? Should counselors confine themselves to counseling only those from their own culture? Transcultural Counselling in Action offers a new approach to the counseling process that addresses the problems often posed by cultural differences. Drawing on examples from community groups, liaison and advocacy workers, mental health specialists, and from professionals already working with other cultures, this practical volume walks the counselor through the transcultural counseling process. Main themes are summarized, the response of professionals to the process are evaluated, and the implications for counseling in a multicultural society are addressed. With so little literature existing on transcultural counseling, this volume will serve as an essential guide to anyone working with groups or individuals from other cultures. "The book serves its purpose well, in terms of both the transcultural issues highlighted and the handling of issues arising in the process of transcultural counseling." --Contemporary Psychology "The fundamental assumptions made by the authors . . . are evident throughout the book and highlight the need for the reader to question their personal stance on these issues. This in itself is a useful exercise for the transcultural counsellor. . . . This book meets its aim of providing guidelines of good practice in counselling." --New Community
