This book examines the next steps and new frontiers in social justice multicultural psychology and counseling. It addresses how culturally responsive psychology and counseling can effectively ameliorate issues of oppression, racism, intolerance, discrimination, and human rights violations by alleviating the injustices encountered by individuals, groups, and communities. Addressing issues of culture, social class, race and ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation,
abilities, religion, and more, the book reflects the critical importance for mental health professionals to attend to social justice and human rights in their work. The book challenges readers to undergo an in-depth examination of the reasons for doing social justice work to ensure that their social
actions are truly beneficial to their clients, families, and communities. The book further discusses barriers that prevent readers from doing social advocacy, such as the imposter syndrome, gaslighting, character assassination, culture of fear, and the nice counselor syndrome. It offers new and unique ideas, concepts, and perspectives for culturally responsive social justice-oriented theory, practice, and training, and presents the Multi-Phase Model of Psychotherapy, Counseling, Humans Rights
and Social Justice (MPM). The authors are leading authorities on social justice, cross-cultural psychology, multicultural counseling, and human rights, and have been nationally and internationally recognized for their leadership and innovation in culturally responsive social justice-oriented
psychology and counseling.
