Multicultural Counseling Competencies 2003: Association for Multicultural Counseling and Development

This update of the groundbreaking 1996 AMCD multicultural competencies represents a benchmark for the counseling profession and is the manifestation of the universality of multiculturalism as a construct that affects all of our lives. The competencies are articulated to guide counseling in the context of culture, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, ability status, age, and religion. The numerous practice examples contained in this guidebook are supported with the most recent conceptualizations about multicultural counseling competencies, research findings, and other professional events. This is an essential resource for educators, students, and practitioners.
