This new addition to the Controversial Issues series focuses on issues that arise in preparing students for practice with multicultural populations. These debate-style essays, written by well-known instructors in social work, feature issues such as whether programs and services in social work should be culture-specific to better meet clients' needs, whether professional social workers should support affirmative action as a means of securing equity for their clients, and whether the therapy process can be effective when the helping professional and the client are of different ethnic groups. This book will help students and instructors at every level to think through current issues in multicultural education; the format stimulates discussion and critical thinking, and will help students appreciate the complexity of the concept of “multiculturalism.”
