First sentence: The three sections of this chapter develop the concept of multicultural counseling competencies (MCC) from (a) philosophical, (b) etic, and (c) emic perspectives, respectively.
Description: Multicultural Counseling Competencies considers ways to evaluate counselors for their awareness, knowledge, and skills in working with a broad spectrum of populations. Chapters also examine at length the pedagogical implications of establishing competencies, including training philosophies and models as well as course and curriculum development.

Likewise, a group of contributors consider the impact that multiculturalism has on supervision and the theories and strategies that supervisors can use to ensure a culturally competent clinical environment.

A cornerstone volume, Multicultural Counseling Competencies pulls together the essence of issues facing the establishment of competencies. Counseling educators and supervisors especially will want to use this book to ensure that their programs help counselors become more culturally aware and serve all clients with efficiency and respect.
