Practical and Thought-Provoking

Cultural diversity is often the source of confusion and discomfort for those working in human services. This book gives practical advice and knowledge for increasing your client's comfort level, as well as your own! The book is divided into two sections, the first of which deals with cultural diversity and ethnicity in general terms. The second section contains several chapters, each of which is devoted to particular ethnic group providing a quick and easy reference for those employed in the human service field. I learned a lot from this book although it's not an easy read which is the reason I only gave it four stars.
