Integrating Spirituality into Multicultural Counseling (Multicultural Aspects of Counseling)

Rating:
Summary: A much need addition to the literature
Review: The issue of spirituality has often been neglected in the multicultural counseling literature. Often spirituality is mentioned in an anthropological sense - a static fact you have to contend with. Fukuyama and Sevig have written this book to acknowledge the fact that spirituality is a living, dynamic factor that is essential to understanding people from diverse backgrounds. They point the reader towards ways to integrate spirituality into multicultural counseling by their use of case studies and self-reflective questions. The authors present the material in a flexible open-minded manner that allows for a variety of experiences. Rather than offering definitive answers Fukuyama and Sevig help the reader ask all the right questions. I highly recommend this book.
