Summary

This unique book presents clinical supervision as a multicultural encounter. With contributions from recognized experts, it offers both the latest scholarship and illustrations of best practices. Chapters discuss psychotherapy and supervision as cultural encounters, women and social justice, immigrants, sexual minorities, people with disabilities, religious/spiritual issues, socioeconomic status concerns, and American Indian/Alaska native perspectives.

Filled with real-life examples, the book includes actual transcripts of supervisor-supervisee interactions that demonstrate how multicultural competence can be developed. This is the only scholarly and practical guide to clinical supervision focused exclusively on multicultural competence.
