Anti-Discriminatory Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy is a
ground-breaking text which identifies the ease with which individuals
can be disadvantaged merely on the basis of their gender, race, culture,
age, sexuality or ability. Examining these and other areas of
discrimination, leading experts highlight how vital it is for
counsellors, psychotherapists and others in the helping professions, to
be aware of and engage with their own social, political and cultural
attitudes, and how they must develop their skills as culturally
sensitive, reflective practitioners if counselling is to be truly
accessible to all members of society.
