Multicultural Care

The book is well written and the content is strongly rooted in the most recent research available. The information is clearly and cogently presented; and, vignettes are effectively used to demonstrate the applicability and use of the information within a clinical context. Its clinical value is enhanced by the fact that the vignettes that are contained in each chapter serve as the basis for the culturally appropriate strategies and recommendations that are presented throughout the book.

Multicultural Care makes it clear that achieving cultural competence is a complex, continuous and developmental learning process. The book gives strong rationale for building cultural competence, translates concepts into actions, teaches skills and informs future directions. Comas-Díaz intended her book for graduate students, clinicians in training, novice therapists and seasoned practitioners, a wide audience to be sure, but all strongly advised to acquire and digest this needed and influential resource.
