This encyclopedia integrates theories, research, and case studies from a variety of disciplines that inform this established area of study.

Any counselor or therapist, regardless of race, background, or motives, can engage in unintentional acts of racism. In so doing, they may inadvertently sabotage their own efforts and perpetuate the very problems they seek to overcome. In this book, the dynamics and the effects of racism in counseling are examined with an emphasis on the insidiousness of unintentional racism. Workable solutions and practical alternatives are proposed with the goal of eliminating unintentional racism. Numerous supporting clinical examples are included in order to help counselors gain new insights into their operational practices and to modify any behavior that may interfere with a helpful intervention. Written with great sensitivity and clarity, this volume will benefit all helping professionals including counselors, psychologists, social workers, student personnel professionals, nurses, ministers, and marriage and family therapists. --
