Black identities + white therapies : race, respect + diversity / edited by Divine Charura and Colin Lago.

"This vibrant new book addresses the continued failure of the counselling and psychotherapy profession to adequately prepare therapy students to respond sensitively and in culturally appropriate ways to clients of diverse cultural and racial identities. Each chapter presents a challenge to therapy practitioners to attend to and reflect on their personal and professional attitudes and behaviours in relation to clients of all heritages and origins. This book is a wake-up call to the profession to develop more inclusive models of theory and practice and ensure a better fit between the aspirations and theories of their professional calling and the needs of today's multi-ethnic, multi-racial and multicultural society."--From publisher.
