The book defines generalist practice, human and cultural diversity, and multicultural social work and is ideal for all pre- and in-service social workers who deal with culturally diverse clients in family service centers, hospitals, mental health centers, and multicultural service centers. Lum uses a single family case study-the Hernandez family-to provide linkage and integration for the step-by-step description of the process-stage approach. He offers up-to-date coverage on women of color, refugees, and immigrants and includes information on the five-stage practice process model: contact, problem identification, assessment, intervention, and termination.

This powerful book deals with the issue of how Christians, especially those called to counsel, can help survivors of sexual abuse find healing and hope. From 20 years of experience, the author demonstrates how counselors can walk alongside people deeply wounded by sexual abuse as they face the truth about who they are, who their abuser was, and who God is as the Savior and Redeemer of all life. Counseling Survivors of Sexual Abuse issues a strong call to the church at large to walk with survivors through the long dark nights of their healing. Diane Mandt Langberg, Ph.D., has been a licensed psychologist in private practice for nearly 25 years. She is a speaker at local and national conferences for clergy, women, couples, students, and professionals. Dr. Langberg writes the counselor column in Today's Christian Woman magazine. Her books include Feeling Good, Feeling Bad and Counsel for Pastor's Wives. Diane lives in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, with her husband and two teenage sons.

In many areas of the world, there has been an earlier indigenous population, which has been conquered by a more recent population group. In Social Welfare with Indigenous Peoples, the editors and contributors examine the treatment of many indigenous populations from five continental areas: Africa (Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe); Australasia, New Zealand; Central and South America (Brazil, Mexico); Europe (Scandinavia, Spain) and North America. They found that, regardless of whether the newer immigrants became the majority population, as in North America, or the minority population, such as in Africa, there were many similarities in how the indigenous peoples were treated and in their current situations. This treatment is examined from many perspectives: political subjugation; negligence; shifting focus of social policy; social and legal discrimination; provision of social services; and ethnic, cultural and political rejuvenation.
