Cultural Competence, Practice Stages, and Client Systems: A Case Study Approach

Bringing together two practice themes--culturally competent practice and practice process stages--Lum's book helps social work students, faculty, and practitioners implement culturally competent principles to the beginning, middle, and ending stages of their work with culturally diverse clients. Additional material, provided by guest contributors, applies these principles to ethnic diverse groups, gender and sexual orientation diverse groups, transitional diverse groups, and age-related diverse groups and include accompanying case studies and exercises.
