Addressing Cultural Complexities in Practice

by Pamela A. Hays

"Addressing Cultural Complexities in Practice: A Framework for Clinicians and Counselors moves beyond one-dimensional concepts of identity to an understanding of the multiplicity of cultural influences that work to form each of us. The true experience of identity is complex and contextual. A person is not simply Latino or gay, Asian American or a person with disability, an older American or a refugee. Rather, one or any combination of these identities may be salient for a particular individual in a given context. Pamela A. Hays offers the ADDRESSING framework for recognizing and working with cultural influences - helping readers understand identity as a multidimensional combination of Age, Developmental and acquired Disabilities, Religion, Ethnicity, Socioeconomic status, Sexual orientation, Indigenous heritage, National origin, and Gender."--BOOK JACKET.
