Summary
 
  Summary

Offering a balance of clinical and theoretical information, Jerry Diller's practical book focuses on effective methods of providing cross-cultural services. The book covers the general principles of cultural diversity, the process of cross-cultural service delivery, and cultural information on specific client populations. Throughout, Diller builds a general understanding of what cultural diversity is and why it is important, and he also helps students to better understand their own prejudices so that they can be more effective counselors when working with clients of cultures different than their own.
