This book presents and illustrates practice guidelines for working with diverse groups of women. Drawing on psychological, multicultural, and feminist research, the chapters consider many of the unique concerns of specific groups of women, including Black/African-American women; Latinas; lesbian, bisexual, and transgender women; Asian-Pacific Islander women; Native women; women with disabilities; and women in transnational and international contexts.

Ample case studies apply the guidelines, emphasizing how practitioners can use clients’ strengths and resilience to promote empowerment.
