Product Description
Unique in its broad focus on the social, historical, and developmental aspects of different cultures, the third edition of John Axelson's popular book gives students a multifaceted understanding of people and issues affecting multicultural counseling in contemporary America. Comprehensive and objective, the book's topics have been selected and integrated from a variety of disciplines (psychology, sociology, political science, and history) to offer today's human service professionals a realistic look at cultures in contemporary America, and the practice of counseling.

Little to do with counseling, much to do with authors bias. July 19, 1998
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
Mr. Axelson seems bent on promoting his prejudice toward the "dominent society values", disregarding such concepts as "melting pot", "Americanization", etc. Seems to have little insight into Mexican-American culture and virtually a first grade level comprehension of Asian values. Abhors the use of stereotypes yet uses "honky" and other terms to describe white America. As a tool for helping those in the helping profession, it is of little use. The theme of counseling is merely a front for Mr. Axelson's personal agenda.
