Counseling Diverse Populations

By Gail Hackett and Donald R. Atkinson

This work addresses diversity counselling in a format that combines four non-ethnic minority groups: women, sexual minorities, older people and people with disabilities. The concept of shared experiences of oppression is explained by identifying characteristics unique to each group. Another topic is psychology's treatment of each section - how psychology as a field has ignored the special needs of minorities in the past and, in some instances, contributed to their oppression.

Counseling Diverse Populations

I wanted more information on diverse populations for counseling purposes. This book is easy reading with appropriate and concise information about special populations. It is also reasonably priced.
