This is a fantastic text! I plan on using it not only in this class but also to refer to relevant chapters it in my Leadership Class as well as my Multicultural Counseling course - both graduate level. This book is easy to read and informative. I especially like how Chung and Bemak directly touch upon the hesitancy in the field of mental health counseling to step into an advocacy role. This book challenges professionals to think critically about redefining what it means to be a practitioner in our diverse society.

I am excited to use this book as it is leading the way with engaging critical psychology, liberation psychology and counseling psychology.
