“Because social justice work has emerged as one of the hottest topics in the mental health professions over the course of the past five years, the Handbook for Social Justice in Counseling Psychology: Leadership, Vision, and Action is timely and welcome.
"Counseling psychologists often focus on clients' inner conflicts and avoid getting involved in the clients' environment. This handbook encourages counseling psychologists to become active participants in changing systems that constrain clients' ability to function. . . . Besides actual programs, the contributors cover research, training, and ethical issues. The case examples showing how professionals have implemented social action programs are particularly valuable. . .
"This book provides as outline for action, not only for psychologists but also for social workers, politicians and others interested in improving the lot of disadvantaged populations. Recommended."
This volume is unquestionably the best book in the field for addressing social justice issues in counseling psychology.
