Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Students and mental health professionals--both early-career and experienced practitioners--will be better prepared for diversity practice with the sixth edition of The Convergence of Race, Ethnicity, and Gender: Multiple Identities in Counseling by Tracy Robinson-Wood. Grounded in storytelling, clinically focused case studies, and updated research, this accessible and engaging text invites readers to explore how multiple identities converge--including race, culture, gender, sexuality, age, class, nationality, religion, and disability--and shape clients' lived experiences. With a renewed emphasis on ethical practice and advocacy, the book challenges professionals to recognize and respond to structural inequities, fostering empathy and self-awareness in clinical work. Through engaging narratives and practical tools, readers are encouraged to reflect deeply on their own identities and roles as agents of change. The sixth edition's expanded content, reorganized chapters, and interactive features prepare professionals to serve clients across diverse backgrounds with compassion, competence, and a commitment to equity.
