Reviews for Cross-Cultural Practice, Second Edition: Social Work with Diverse Populations
This updated edition builds on the first edition and retains its benefits: the distinctive existential perspective on diversity and on helping diverse groups, the use of actual case material to illustrate the existential challenges and curative factors, and the message that the authors are passionately and intelligently committed to helping social workers better serve vulnerable and oppressed groups." James Forte, Salisbury University The book integrates the themes of the eight cross-cultural factors and the four existential "treatment elements" well. The chapters have been substantially enlarged and improved, and the case studies are excellent!" Shirley R. Hall, New Mexico Highlands University
