Preface
For nearly four decades, Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory
and Practice (CCD) has been the cutting‐edge text in multicultural
counseling and mental health, used in an overwhelming majority of
graduate training programs in counseling and clinical psychology. It
now forms part of the multicultural knowledge base of licensing and
certification exams at both the master's and the doctoral levels. In
essence, it has become a “classic” in the field, and continues to lead
the profession in the research, theory, and practice of multicultural
counseling and therapy (MCT). CCD upholds the highest standards
of scholarship and is the most frequently cited text in multicultural
psychology and ethnic minority mental health.
With the addition of two new co‐authors, Dr. Helen Neville and Dr.
Laura Smith, to the eighth edition, instructors will note a fresh, new,
and exciting perspective to the content of CCD, and their scholarly
input guarantees it will continue to rank as the most up‐to‐date text
in the field. Both have been foremost leaders in multicultural
psychology, and their voices become obvious in this revised edition.
CHANGES TO CCD
Much new research has been conducted in multicultural counseling,
cultural competence, social justice advocacy, new roles of the helping
professional, White allyship, and culture‐specific interventions over
the past few years. In essence, the topical areas covered in each
chapter continue to be anchors for multicultural counseling
coverage. As a result, while the chapters remain similar, each has
undergone major revisions; some are quite extensive in the updating
of references, introduction of new research and concepts, and
discussion of future directions in counseling, therapy, and mental
health.
We maintain our two‐part division of the book, with 12 separate
chapters in Section One: The Multiple Dimensions of Multicultural
Counseling and Therapy, and 13 population‐specific chapters in
Section Two: Multicultural Counseling and Specific Populations. We
introduce Section Two by providing a chapter, “Culturally Competent
Assessment” (Chapter 13), that outlines the many variables that
influence assessment, diagnosis, and case conceptualization—which,
hopefully, guide the reader's understanding of each specific
population presented. All have been thoroughly updated using
common topical headings (when possible) that allow better cross‐
comparisons between and among the groups.
EFFICIENT UP TO DATE COVERAGE
We have heard from textbook adopters that the breadth and depth of
coverage has made it very difficult for instructors and students to
digest the amount of material in a single course. Although reviewers
suggested that CCD be shortened, they did not recommend
eliminating topics, but rather condensing, summarizing,
streamlining, or eliminating certain subtopics. We have tried our
best to do so without violating the integrity of the content. Each of
the major chapters 1 through 12) has been shortened by an average of
10%, but the special population chapters have maintained their
original length. This latter decision was based on our belief that
further shortening would result in the chapters having a “checklist”
quality. Further, we are also aware that most instructors do not
assign all special population chapters, but rather pick and choose the
ones most relevant to their classes.
Despite shortening major sections of the text, new advances and
important changes in multicultural counseling suggest additional
areas that need to be addressed. These include building on the
previous groundbreaking edition, which has become the most widely
used, frequently cited, and critically acclaimed multicultural text in
the mental health field, and updating concepts to be consistent with
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM 5)
categories and principles, the multicultural guidelines of the
American Psychological Association, the American Counseling
Association's (ACA) multicultural and social justice competencies,
and Council for Accreditation of Counseling & Related Educational
Programs (CACREP) standards.
We also include the most recent research and theoretical
formulations that introduce and analyze emerging important
multicultural topics. These include the concept of “cultural humility”
as a domain of cultural competence; the important roles of White
allies in the struggle for equal rights; the emerging call for social
justice counseling; the important concept of “minority stress” and its
implications in work with marginalized populations; greater focus on
developmental psychology that speaks to raising and educating
children about race, gender, and sexual orientation; reviewing and
introducing the most recent research on lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) issues; major research
developments in the manifestation, dynamics, and impact of
microaggressions; and many others.
PEDAGOGICAL STRENGTHS
One of the main goals of the eighth edition has been to better engage
students in the material and allow them to actually become active
participants in digesting multicultural counseling concepts. We have
increased our focus on pedagogy by providing instructors with
exercises and activities to facilitate experiential learning for students.
We open every chapter with broad chapter objectives, followed by
more specific—and oftentimes controversial—reflection and
discussion questions interspersed throughout, which allow for more
concentrated and detailed discussion by students on identifiable
topical areas.
Further, every chapter opens with a clinical vignette, longer
narrative, or situational example that previews the major concepts
and issues discussed within. Many of these are new and serve to
anchor the multicultural issues to follow. They add life and meaning
to the chapter concepts and research. The chapter focus questions
serve as prompts to address the opening “course objectives,” but
instructors and trainers can also use them as discussion questions
throughout the course or workshop. As in the previous edition, we
have retained the “Implications for Clinical Practice” and “Summary”
sections at the end of every chapter.
There are two other major resources available for instructor use:
1. A series of brief simulated multicultural counseling videos that
can be used in the classroom or viewed online. Each video
relates to issues presented in one of the first 13 chapters. They
are excellent training aids that allow students to witness
multicultural blunders by counselors, identify cultural and
sociopolitical themes in the counseling process, discuss and
analyze what can go wrong in a session, and suggest culturally
appropriate intervention strategies.
Following each video, Dr. Derald Wing Sue and Dr. Joel M.
Filmore discuss and analyze each session in the context of the
themes of the chapter. Instructors have many ways to use the
videos to stimulate classroom discussion and understanding.
2. In keeping with the importance of applying research and theory
to work with client and client systems, we encourage instructors
to use Case Studies in Multicultural Counseling and Therapy,
edited by Sue, Gallardo, and Neville (2014), alongside CCD.
APPRECIATION
There is an African American proverb that states, “We stand on the
head and shoulders of many who have gone on before us.” Certainly,
this book would not have been possible without their wisdom,
commitment, and sacrifice. We thank them for their inspiration,
courage, and dedication, and hope they will look down on us and be
pleased with our work. We would like to acknowledge all the
dedicated multicultural pioneers in the field who have journeyed
with us along the path of multiculturalism before it became
fashionable. We also wish to thank the staff of John Wiley & Sons for
the enormous time and effort they have placed in obtaining,
evaluating, and providing us with the necessary data and feedback to
produce this edition of CCD. Their help was no small undertaking,
and we feel fortunate in having Wiley as our publisher.
Working on this eighth edition continues to be a labor of love. It
would not have been possible, however, without the love and support
of our families, who provided the patience and nourishment that
sustained us throughout our work on the text. Derald Wing Sue
wishes to express his love for his wife, Paulina, his son, Derald Paul,
his daughter, Marissa Catherine, and his grandchildren, Caroline,
Juliette, and Niam. Helen A. Neville wishes to express her deepest
love and appreciation for her life partner, Sundiata K. Cha‐Jua, her
daughters, and the memory of her parents. Laura Smith expresses
love and appreciation for the support of her partner, Sean Kelleher,
as well as her extended family. David Sue wishes to express his love
and appreciation to his wife and children.
We hope that Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory and
Practice, eighth edition, will stand on “the truth” and continue to be
the standard bearer of multicultural counseling and therapy texts in
the field.

and therapy, and social justice advocacy. Three of his books,
Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory and Practice,
Microaggressions in Everyday Life, and Overcoming our Racism:
The Journey to Liberation (John Wiley & Sons), are considered
classics in the field. Dr. Sue's most recent research on racial, gender,
and sexual orientation microaggressions has provided a major
breakthrough in understanding how everyday slights, insults, and
invalidations toward marginalized groups create psychological harm
to their mental and physical health and create disparities for them in
education, employment, and health care. His most recent book, Race
Talk and the Conspiracy of Silence: Understanding and Facilitating
Difficult Dialogues on Race promises to add to the nationwide
debate on racial dialogues. A national survey has identified Derald
Wing Sue as “the most influential multicultural scholar in the United
States,” and his works are among the most frequently cited.
David Sue is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Western
Washington University, where he has served as the director of both
the Psychology Counseling Clinic and the Mental Health Counseling
program. He is also an associate of the Center for Cross‐Cultural
Research at Western Washington University. He and his wife, Diane
M. Sue, have coauthored the books Foundations of Counseling and
Psychotherapy: Evidence Based Practices for a Diverse Society,
Understanding Abnormal Psychology (12th edition), and Essentials
of Abnormal Psychology (2nd edition). He is coauthor of Counseling
the Culturally Diverse: Theory and Practice. He received his PhD in
Clinical Psychology from Washington State University. His writing
and research interests revolve around multicultural issues in
individual and group counseling and the integration of multicultural
therapy with evidence‐based practice. He enjoys hiking,
snowshoeing, traveling, and spending time with his family.

SECTION ONE
The Multiple Dimensions of
Multicultural Counseling and
Therapy
Becoming culturally competent in working with diverse populations
is a complex interaction of many dimensions that involve broad
theoretical, conceptual, research, and practice issues. This section is
divided into four parts (each part contains a number of chapters)
that describe, explain, and analyze necessary conditions that mental
health practitioners must address on issues related to multicultural
counseling and therapy, cultural competence, and sociopolitical
influences that cut across specific populations.
Part I: The Affective and Conceptual Dimensions of
Multicultural Counseling and Therapy
Part II: The Impact and Social Justice Implications of
Counseling and Psychotherapy
Part III: The Practice Dimensions of Multicultural Counseling
and Therapy

Chapter Objectives
1. Acknowledge and understand personal resistance
to multicultural training.
2. Identify how emotional reactions to topics of
prejudice, discrimination, and oppression can act as
obstacles to developing cultural competence and
cultural humility.
3. Understand worldview differences between
majority and socially devalued group members in
U.S. society.
4. Make sense of why majority group members often
react differently from marginalized group members
when issues of racism, sexism, or heterosexism are
discussed.
5. Be cognizant of how worldviews may influence
the ability to understand, empathize, and work
effectively with diverse clients.
6. Realize that becoming an effective multicultural
counselor is a lifelong journey.
Reading and digesting the content of this book may prove difficult
and filled with powerful feelings for many of you. Students who have
taken a course on multicultural counseling and therapy (MCT) or
multicultural mental health issues have almost universally felt both
positive and negative feelings that affect their ability to learn about
diversity issues. It is important not to allow those emotions to go
unacknowledged, or to avoid exploring the psychological meanings
they may have for you. As you begin your journey to becoming a
culturally competent or culturally responsive counselor/mental
health professional, the road will be filled with obstacles to self‐
exploration, to understanding yourself as a racial/cultural being, and
to understanding the worldview of those who differ from you in race,
4
gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and other sociodemographic
characteristics.
The subject matter in this book and course requires you to explore
your biases and prejudices, a task that often evokes defensiveness
and resistance. It is important to recognize …

Preface
For nearly four decades, Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory
and Practice (CCD) has been the cutting‐edge text in multicultural
counseling and mental health, used in an overwhelming majority of
graduate training programs in counseling and clinical psychology. It
now forms part of the multicultural knowledge base of licensing and
certification exams at both the master's and the doctoral levels. In
essence, it has become a “classic” in the field, and continues to lead
the profession in the research, theory, and practice of multicultural
counseling and therapy (MCT). CCD upholds the highest standards
of scholarship and is the most frequently cited text in multicultural
psychology and ethnic minority mental health.
With the addition of two new co‐authors, Dr. Helen Neville and Dr.
Laura Smith, to the eighth edition, instructors will note a fresh, new,
and exciting perspective to the content of CCD, and their scholarly
input guarantees it will continue to rank as the most up‐to‐date text
in the field. Both have been foremost leaders in multicultural
psychology, and their voices become obvious in this revised edition.
CHANGES TO CCD
Much new research has been conducted in multicultural counseling,
cultural competence, social justice advocacy, new roles of the helping
professional, White allyship, and culture‐specific interventions over
the past few years. In essence, the topical areas covered in each
chapter continue to be anchors for multicultural counseling
coverage. As a result, while the chapters remain similar, each has
undergone major revisions; some are quite extensive in the updating
of references, introduction of new research and concepts, and
discussion of future directions in counseling, therapy, and mental
health.
We maintain our two‐part division of the book, with 12 separate
chapters in Section One: The Multiple Dimensions of Multicultural
Counseling and Therapy, and 13 population‐specific chapters in
Section Two: Multicultural Counseling and Specific Populations. We
introduce Section Two by providing a chapter, “Culturally Competent
Assessment” (Chapter 13), that outlines the many variables that
influence assessment, diagnosis, and case conceptualization—which,
hopefully, guide the reader's understanding of each specific
population presented. All have been thoroughly updated using
common topical headings (when possible) that allow better cross‐
comparisons between and among the groups.
EFFICIENT UP TO DATE COVERAGE
We have heard from textbook adopters that the breadth and depth of
coverage has made it very difficult for instructors and students to
digest the amount of material in a single course. Although reviewers
suggested that CCD be shortened, they did not recommend
eliminating topics, but rather condensing, summarizing,
streamlining, or eliminating certain subtopics. We have tried our
best to do so without violating the integrity of the content. Each of
the major chapters 1 through 12) has been shortened by an average of
10%, but the special population chapters have maintained their
original length. This latter decision was based on our belief that
further shortening would result in the chapters having a “checklist”
quality. Further, we are also aware that most instructors do not
assign all special population chapters, but rather pick and choose the
ones most relevant to their classes.
Despite shortening major sections of the text, new advances and
important changes in multicultural counseling suggest additional
areas that need to be addressed. These include building on the
previous groundbreaking edition, which has become the most widely
used, frequently cited, and critically acclaimed multicultural text in
the mental health field, and updating concepts to be consistent with
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM 5)
categories and principles, the multicultural guidelines of the
American Psychological Association, the American Counseling
Association's (ACA) multicultural and social justice competencies,
and Council for Accreditation of Counseling & Related Educational
Programs (CACREP) standards.
We also include the most recent research and theoretical
formulations that introduce and analyze emerging important
multicultural topics. These include the concept of “cultural humility”
as a domain of cultural competence; the important roles of White
allies in the struggle for equal rights; the emerging call for social
justice counseling; the important concept of “minority stress” and its
implications in work with marginalized populations; greater focus on
developmental psychology that speaks to raising and educating
children about race, gender, and sexual orientation; reviewing and
introducing the most recent research on lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) issues; major research
developments in the manifestation, dynamics, and impact of
microaggressions; and many others.
PEDAGOGICAL STRENGTHS
One of the main goals of the eighth edition has been to better engage
students in the material and allow them to actually become active
participants in digesting multicultural counseling concepts. We have
increased our focus on pedagogy by providing instructors with
exercises and activities to facilitate experiential learning for students.
We open every chapter with broad chapter objectives, followed by
more specific—and oftentimes controversial—reflection and
discussion questions interspersed throughout, which allow for more
concentrated and detailed discussion by students on identifiable
topical areas.
Further, every chapter opens with a clinical vignette, longer
narrative, or situational example that previews the major concepts
and issues discussed within. Many of these are new and serve to
anchor the multicultural issues to follow. They add life and meaning
to the chapter concepts and research. The chapter focus questions
serve as prompts to address the opening “course objectives,” but
instructors and trainers can also use them as discussion questions
throughout the course or workshop. As in the previous edition, we
have retained the “Implications for Clinical Practice” and “Summary”
sections at the end of every chapter.
There are two other major resources available for instructor use:
1. A series of brief simulated multicultural counseling videos that
can be used in the classroom or viewed online. Each video
relates to issues presented in one of the first 13 chapters. They
are excellent training aids that allow students to witness
multicultural blunders by counselors, identify cultural and
sociopolitical themes in the counseling process, discuss and
analyze what can go wrong in a session, and suggest culturally
appropriate intervention strategies.
Following each video, Dr. Derald Wing Sue and Dr. Joel M.
Filmore discuss and analyze each session in the context of the
themes of the chapter. Instructors have many ways to use the
videos to stimulate classroom discussion and understanding.
2. In keeping with the importance of applying research and theory
to work with client and client systems, we encourage instructors
to use Case Studies in Multicultural Counseling and Therapy,
edited by Sue, Gallardo, and Neville (2014), alongside CCD.
APPRECIATION
There is an African American proverb that states, “We stand on the
head and shoulders of many who have gone on before us.” Certainly,
this book would not have been possible without their wisdom,
commitment, and sacrifice. We thank them for their inspiration,
courage, and dedication, and hope they will look down on us and be
pleased with our work. We would like to acknowledge all the
dedicated multicultural pioneers in the field who have journeyed
with us along the path of multiculturalism before it became
fashionable. We also wish to thank the staff of John Wiley & Sons for
the enormous time and effort they have placed in obtaining,
evaluating, and providing us with the necessary data and feedback to
produce this edition of CCD. Their help was no small undertaking,
and we feel fortunate in having Wiley as our publisher.
Working on this eighth edition continues to be a labor of love. It
would not have been possible, however, without the love and support
of our families, who provided the patience and nourishment that
sustained us throughout our work on the text. Derald Wing Sue
wishes to express his love for his wife, Paulina, his son, Derald Paul,
his daughter, Marissa Catherine, and his grandchildren, Caroline,
Juliette, and Niam. Helen A. Neville wishes to express her deepest
love and appreciation for her life partner, Sundiata K. Cha‐Jua, her
daughters, and the memory of her parents. Laura Smith expresses
love and appreciation for the support of her partner, Sean Kelleher,
as well as her extended family. David Sue wishes to express his love
and appreciation to his wife and children.
We hope that Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory and
Practice, eighth edition, will stand on “the truth” and continue to be
the standard bearer of multicultural counseling and therapy texts in
the field.

and therapy, and social justice advocacy. Three of his books,
Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory and Practice,
Microaggressions in Everyday Life, and Overcoming our Racism:
The Journey to Liberation (John Wiley & Sons), are considered
classics in the field. Dr. Sue's most recent research on racial, gender,
and sexual orientation microaggressions has provided a major
breakthrough in understanding how everyday slights, insults, and
invalidations toward marginalized groups create psychological harm
to their mental and physical health and create disparities for them in
education, employment, and health care. His most recent book, Race
Talk and the Conspiracy of Silence: Understanding and Facilitating
Difficult Dialogues on Race promises to add to the nationwide
debate on racial dialogues. A national survey has identified Derald
Wing Sue as “the most influential multicultural scholar in the United
States,” and his works are among the most frequently cited.
David Sue is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Western
Washington University, where he has served as the director of both

Psychotherapy: Evidence Based Practices for a Diverse Society,
Understanding Abnormal Psychology (12th edition), and Essentials
of Abnormal Psychology (2nd edition). He is coauthor of Counseling
the Culturally Diverse: Theory and Practice. He received his PhD in
Clinical Psychology from Washington State University. His writing
and research interests revolve around multicultural issues in
individual and group counseling and the integration of multicultural
therapy with evidence‐based practice. He enjoys hiking,

SECTION ONE
The Multiple Dimensions of
Multicultural Counseling and
Therapy
Becoming culturally competent in working with diverse populations
is a complex interaction of many dimensions that involve broad
theoretical, conceptual, research, and practice issues. This section is
divided into four parts (each part contains a number of chapters)
that describe, explain, and analyze necessary conditions that mental
health practitioners must address on issues related to multicultural
counseling and therapy, cultural competence, and sociopolitical
influences that cut across specific populations.
Part I: The Affective and Conceptual Dimensions of
Multicultural Counseling and Therapy
Part II: The Impact and Social Justice Implications of
Counseling and Psychotherapy
Part III: The Practice Dimensions of Multicultural Counseling
and Therapy

Chapter Objectives
1. Acknowledge and understand personal resistance
to multicultural training.
2. Identify how emotional reactions to topics of
prejudice, discrimination, and oppression can act as
obstacles to developing cultural competence and
cultural humility.
3. Understand worldview differences between
majority and socially devalued group members in
U.S. society.
4. Make sense of why majority group members often
react differently from marginalized group members
when issues of racism, sexism, or heterosexism are
discussed.
5. Be cognizant of how worldviews may influence
the ability to understand, empathize, and work
effectively with diverse clients.
6. Realize that becoming an effective multicultural
counselor is a lifelong journey.
Reading and digesting the content of this book may prove difficult
and filled with powerful feelings for many of you. Students who have
taken a course on multicultural counseling and therapy (MCT) or
multicultural mental health issues have almost universally felt both
positive and negative feelings that affect their ability to learn about
diversity issues. It is important not to allow those emotions to go
unacknowledged, or to avoid exploring the psychological meanings
they may have for you. As you begin your journey to becoming a
culturally competent or culturally responsive counselor/mental
health professional, the road will be filled with obstacles to self‐
exploration, to understanding yourself as a racial/cultural being, and
to understanding the worldview of those who differ from you in race,
4
gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and other sociodemographic
characteristics.
The subject matter in this book and course requires you to explore
your biases and prejudices, a task that often evokes defensiveness
and resistance. It is important to recognize …

Preface
For nearly four decades, Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory
and Practice (CCD) has been the cutting‐edge text in multicultural
counseling and mental health, used in an overwhelming majority of
graduate training programs in counseling and clinical psychology. It
now forms part of the multicultural knowledge base of licensing and
certification exams at both the master's and the doctoral levels. In
essence, it has become a “classic” in the field, and continues to lead
the profession in the research, theory, and practice of multicultural
counseling and therapy (MCT). CCD upholds the highest standards
of scholarship and is the most frequently cited text in multicultural
psychology and ethnic minority mental health.
With the addition of two new co‐authors, Dr. Helen Neville and Dr.
Laura Smith, to the eighth edition, instructors will note a fresh, new,
and exciting perspective to the content of CCD, and their scholarly
input guarantees it will continue to rank as the most up‐to‐date text
in the field. Both have been foremost leaders in multicultural
psychology, and their voices become obvious in this revised edition.
CHANGES TO CCD
Much new research has been conducted in multicultural counseling,
cultural competence, social justice advocacy, new roles of the helping
professional, White allyship, and culture‐specific interventions over
the past few years. In essence, the topical areas covered in each
chapter continue to be anchors for multicultural counseling
coverage. As a result, while the chapters remain similar, each has
undergone major revisions; some are quite extensive in the updating
of references, introduction of new research and concepts, and
discussion of future directions in counseling, therapy, and mental
health.
We maintain our two‐part division of the book, with 12 separate
chapters in Section One: The Multiple Dimensions of Multicultural
Counseling and Therapy, and 13 population‐specific chapters in
Section Two: Multicultural Counseling and Specific Populations. We
introduce Section Two by providing a chapter, “Culturally Competent
Assessment” (Chapter 13), that outlines the many variables that
influence assessment, diagnosis, and case conceptualization—which,
hopefully, guide the reader's understanding of each specific
population presented. All have been thoroughly updated using
common topical headings (when possible) that allow better cross‐
comparisons between and among the groups.
EFFICIENT UP TO DATE COVERAGE
We have heard from textbook adopters that the breadth and depth of
coverage has made it very difficult for instructors and students to
digest the amount of material in a single course. Although reviewers
suggested that CCD be shortened, they did not recommend
eliminating topics, but rather condensing, summarizing,
streamlining, or eliminating certain subtopics. We have tried our
best to do so without violating the integrity of the content. Each of
the major chapters 1 through 12) has been shortened by an average of
10%, but the special population chapters have maintained their
original length. This latter decision was based on our belief that
further shortening would result in the chapters having a “checklist”
quality. Further, we are also aware that most instructors do not
assign all special population chapters, but rather pick and choose the
ones most relevant to their classes.
Despite shortening major sections of the text, new advances and
important changes in multicultural counseling suggest additional
areas that need to be addressed. These include building on the
previous groundbreaking edition, which has become the most widely
used, frequently cited, and critically acclaimed multicultural text in
the mental health field, and updating concepts to be consistent with
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM 5)
categories and principles, the multicultural guidelines of the
American Psychological Association, the American Counseling
Association's (ACA) multicultural and social justice competencies,
and Council for Accreditation of Counseling & Related Educational
Programs (CACREP) standards.
We also include the most recent research and theoretical
formulations that introduce and analyze emerging important
multicultural topics. These include the concept of “cultural humility”
as a domain of cultural competence; the important roles of White
allies in the struggle for equal rights; the emerging call for social
justice counseling; the important concept of “minority stress” and its
implications in work with marginalized populations; greater focus on
developmental psychology that speaks to raising and educating
children about race, gender, and sexual orientation; reviewing and
introducing the most recent research on lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) issues; major research
developments in the manifestation, dynamics, and impact of
microaggressions; and many others.
PEDAGOGICAL STRENGTHS
One of the main goals of the eighth edition has been to better engage
students in the material and allow them to actually become active
participants in digesting multicultural counseling concepts. We have
increased our focus on pedagogy by providing instructors with
exercises and activities to facilitate experiential learning for students.
We open every chapter with broad chapter objectives, followed by
more specific—and oftentimes controversial—reflection and
discussion questions interspersed throughout, which allow for more
concentrated and detailed discussion by students on identifiable
topical areas.
Further, every chapter opens with a clinical vignette, longer
narrative, or situational example that previews the major concepts
and issues discussed within. Many of these are new and serve to
anchor the multicultural issues to follow. They add life and meaning
to the chapter concepts and research. The chapter focus questions
serve as prompts to address the opening “course objectives,” but
instructors and trainers can also use them as discussion questions
throughout the course or workshop. As in the previous edition, we
have retained the “Implications for Clinical Practice” and “Summary”
sections at the end of every chapter.
There are two other major resources available for instructor use:
1. A series of brief simulated multicultural counseling videos that
can be used in the classroom or viewed online. Each video
relates to issues presented in one of the first 13 chapters. They
are excellent training aids that allow students to witness
multicultural blunders by counselors, identify cultural and
sociopolitical themes in the counseling process, discuss and
analyze what can go wrong in a session, and suggest culturally
appropriate intervention strategies.
Following each video, Dr. Derald Wing Sue and Dr. Joel M.
Filmore discuss and analyze each session in the context of the
themes of the chapter. Instructors have many ways to use the
videos to stimulate classroom discussion and understanding.
2. In keeping with the importance of applying research and theory
to work with client and client systems, we encourage instructors
to use Case Studies in Multicultural Counseling and Therapy,
edited by Sue, Gallardo, and Neville (2014), alongside CCD.
APPRECIATION
There is an African American proverb that states, “We stand on the
head and shoulders of many who have gone on before us.” Certainly,
this book would not have been possible without their wisdom,
commitment, and sacrifice. We thank them for their inspiration,
courage, and dedication, and hope they will look down on us and be
pleased with our work. We would like to acknowledge all the
dedicated multicultural pioneers in the field who have journeyed
with us along the path of multiculturalism before it became
fashionable. We also wish to thank the staff of John Wiley & Sons for
the enormous time and effort they have placed in obtaining,
evaluating, and providing us with the necessary data and feedback to
produce this edition of CCD. Their help was no small undertaking,
and we feel fortunate in having Wiley as our publisher.
Working on this eighth edition continues to be a labor of love. It
would not have been possible, however, without the love and support
of our families, who provided the patience and nourishment that
sustained us throughout our work on the text. Derald Wing Sue
wishes to express his love for his wife, Paulina, his son, Derald Paul,
his daughter, Marissa Catherine, and his grandchildren, Caroline,
Juliette, and Niam. Helen A. Neville wishes to express her deepest
love and appreciation for her life partner, Sundiata K. Cha‐Jua, her
daughters, and the memory of her parents. Laura Smith expresses
love and appreciation for the support of her partner, Sean Kelleher,
as well as her extended family. David Sue wishes to express his love
and appreciation to his wife and children.
We hope that Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory and
Practice, eighth edition, will stand on “the truth” and continue to be
the standard bearer of multicultural counseling and therapy texts in
the field.

education, employment, and health care. His most recent book, Race
Talk and the Conspiracy of Silence: Understanding and Facilitating
Difficult Dialogues on Race promises to add to the nationwide
debate on racial dialogues. A national survey has identified Derald
Wing Sue as “the most influential multicultural scholar in the United
States,” and his works are among the most frequently cited.

SECTION ONE
The Multiple Dimensions of
Multicultural Counseling and
Therapy
Becoming culturally competent in working with diverse populations
is a complex interaction of many dimensions that involve broad
theoretical, conceptual, research, and practice issues. This section is
divided into four parts (each part contains a number of chapters)
that describe, explain, and analyze necessary conditions that mental
health practitioners must address on issues related to multicultural
counseling and therapy, cultural competence, and sociopolitical
influences that cut across specific populations.
Part I: The Affective and Conceptual Dimensions of
Multicultural Counseling and Therapy
Part II: The Impact and Social Justice Implications of
Counseling and Psychotherapy
Part III: The Practice Dimensions of Multicultural Counseling
and Therapy
Part IV: Racial, Ethnic, Cultural (REC) Attitudes in

Chapter Objectives
1. Acknowledge and understand personal resistance
to multicultural training.
2. Identify how emotional reactions to topics of
prejudice, discrimination, and oppression can act as
obstacles to developing cultural competence and
cultural humility.
3. Understand worldview differences between
majority and socially devalued group members in
U.S. society.
4. Make sense of why majority group members often
react differently from marginalized group members
when issues of racism, sexism, or heterosexism are
discussed.
5. Be cognizant of how worldviews may influence
the ability to understand, empathize, and work
effectively with diverse clients.
6. Realize that becoming an effective multicultural
counselor is a lifelong journey.
Reading and digesting the content of this book may prove difficult
and filled with powerful feelings for many of you. Students who have
taken a course on multicultural counseling and therapy (MCT) or
multicultural mental health issues have almost universally felt both
positive and negative feelings that affect their ability to learn about
diversity issues. It is important not to allow those emotions to go
unacknowledged, or to avoid exploring the psychological meanings
they may have for you. As you begin your journey to becoming a
culturally competent or culturally responsive counselor/mental
health professional, the road will be filled with obstacles to self‐
exploration, to understanding yourself as a racial/cultural being, and
to understanding the worldview of those who differ from you in race,
4
gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and other sociodemographic
characteristics.
The subject matter in this book and course requires you to explore
your biases and prejudices, a task that often evokes defensiveness
and resistance. It is important to recognize …
