Summary

• "As our definitions of couple and family change, mental health practioners have an obligation to respond by becoming more adept at recognizing various social discourses that marginalize and exclude certain members of society
• Those discourses - shaped by issues of race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and class - have a profound impact on every aspect of therapy
• This book provides therapists with an effective framework for looking beyond their comfort zones, grappling with the complexities of their own cultural identities, and expanding their cultural competencies."--Jacket
