Author Freddy A. Paniagua has expanded and updated his original work, offering effective, practical guidelines in dealing with issues that arise when dealing with culturally diverse clientele. Paniagua provides clinical suggestions for working with African American, Hispanic, American Indian, and Asian clients.

New to this edition is a chapter that deals with a summary of cultural variables in the DSM-IV, which will make this volume even more valuable to professionals and educators across the fields of clinical/counseling psychology, psychotherapy, psychiatric nursing, social work, multicultural counseling, ethnic studies, and behavioral psychology.
