Issues in Multicultural Counseling. Highlights: An ERIC/CAPS Digest.
Bolton-Brownlee, Ann
This fact sheet examines the impact of cultural diversity in the United States on the counseling profession. Three major difficulties for multicultural counseling created by this diversity are considered: (1) the counselor's own culture, attitudes, and theoretical perspective; (2) the client's culture; and (3) the multiplicity of variables comprising an individual's identity. Thirteen documents are cited. (NB)
