Description: "Here is a true multicultural counseling model to meet the reality of an increasing varied population of elders. Dr. Burlingame presents effective gerocounseling techniques for four major ethnic groups in North America: Hispanic, Native American, Asian American/Pacific Islander, and African Americans.

Each section explores the psychological, spiritual, and social implications of each group's culture, and how those factors inform late life issues, from family support responsibilities to end of life decisions. Each detailed section contains descriptive cases, ethnogerocounseling strategies and discussion questions."--BOOK JACKET.
