`Competencies in multicultural counselling are examined for their relevance in counselling individuals from multiracial families along with an examination of some useful strategies, interventions and approaches. There are 5 case studies that illustrate the principals outlined above. The book is thus a very valuable resource for professionals working with these issues' -Transcultural Psychiatry
Multiracial families comprise a rapidly growing population in the United States. This volume addresses this population, so often neglected in the counselling literature.
Following an historical overview, the authors: address both the special needs and special strengths of multiracial families; explore the challenges facing interracially married couples; examine social and cultural issues pertinent to parenting multiracial children; and translate results of biracial identity development research into counselling practice.
