Addressing Cultural Complexities in Practice: A Framework for Clinicians   and Counselors moves beyond unidimensional 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 a   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. Engagingly   written and featuring a variety of case examples, this book combines the   latest research with vignettes from the author's own practice. Each   chapter's contents are summarized in "Key Idea" tables, which facilitates   use of the guidelines in the classroom as well as in the clinic. Unlike   other books on therapy with diverse clients, which tend to focus on   working with one particular ethnic group, Addressing Cultural Complexities  in Practice provides a framework that can be used with a person of any   cultural identity. This thought-provoking book will be invaluable to   counselors, clinicians, and any professional working with clients from a   variety of diverse backgrounds.
