Since its publication in 1981, Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory and Practice (CCD) has become a classic in the field, used in the overwhelming majority of graduate training programs in counseling, counselor education, and clinical psychology, and now forms part of the multicultural knowledge base of licensing and certification exams. It continues to lead the field in the theory, research, and practice of multicultural counseling/therapy and upholds the highest standards of scholarship; it is the most frequently cited text in multicultural psychology and ethnic minority mental health.

Over many decades, feedback from reviewers and readers indicate the success of CCD is related to its (a) integrated conceptual framework, (b) up-to-date coverage of research in the field, (c) ability to actively address clinical applications through translating research/concepts to practice, (d) use of numerous examples, vignettes, and case studies that add life and meaning to the material, (e) ability to involve readers in personal self-reflection and exploration, (f) engaging writing style, and (g) passionate style of communicationhard hitting, intense and challenging.

The 13 chapters on specific populations continue to be hailed as among the best thumbnail sketches of how multicultural counseling relates to the various marginalized groups in our society. Adopters have consistently praised the culture-universal and culture-specific balance of the book. The seventh edition of CCD does not change the basic formula which has made and continues to make it a success in the academic and clinical markets.

In the seventh edition, major changes were made as a result of reviewing three dozen texts on multicultural counseling, general multicultural mental health care, multicultural assessment, multicultural competencies, multicultural supervision, and multicultural consultation. Content coverage, general orientation, philosophical approach, writing style, and pedagogy were analyzed in addition to a 2014 survey conducted by the publisher sent to over 1,300 instructors who each received a copy of the 2013 edition of CCD. The survey asked what were the unique challenges to teaching the course, what type of materials would prove helpful to instructors, and what areas needed additional coverage. Based upon a review of competing texts, analysis of the survey, and feedback from past adopters, several findings informed the revision process.

When compared to other texts in the field, CCD explores and covers nearly all major multicultural counseling topics in the profession. Indeed, reviewers believed it the most comprehensive of the texts published, and noted that it leads in coverage of microaggressions in counseling, interracial/interethnic counseling, social justice approaches to counseling, the implications of indigenous healing, the sociopolitical nature of counseling, racial identity development, and the cultural use of evidence-based practice. In the reviews, two important observations were made: (a) many competing texts lacked specific coverage of these topics and/or covered these areas superficially, and (b) many competitors relied heavily upon the content of CCD, adapting it for their books. This latter observation is certainly flattering, as it indicates that CCD continues to be the flagship leader in the field of multicultural counseling by continuing to break new ground in the profession and presenting original cutting-edge research.

In the survey of instructors, there was a notable absence of requests to cover additional topics. We surmise that instructors were satisfied by the comprehensiveness of topical coverage in CCD, a conclusion also supported in our review of competing books. Rather than suggesting additional topics, ironically, some adopters noted that CCD explores too much material and that it was difficult to cover everything in a single course. Among those who provided this feedback, there were suggestions that
