Counseling diversity in context / Jason Brown.
"The book explores themes of oppression and liberation as well as the categories and forces that help and hinder communities, demonstrating the need for alternatives to mainstream psychological approaches. Brown encourages counselors to not only understand the social problems that contribute to the personal challenges faced by clients, but to also raise awareness about these social problems and promote change. A model for community change, informed by an intersectional analysis, offers counselors a process that allows them to participate in a variety of ways, according to their desired level of involvement. Specific examples of community change are included, followed by key principles that can be applied within various organizations and programs, as well as suggestions for effective evaluation."-- Provided by publisher.
