ABSTRACT

As student populations become more diverse, college mental health facilities are challenged to modify traditional theoretical and practice frameworks. The first case book to focus on counseling and mental health intervention with diverse college populations, Diversity in College Settings is a timely and important collection. Taken together, the studies redirect the focus of college mental health practice, arguing convincingly for acknowledging diversity, cultivating cultural competence among health practitioners and the adoption of ethnospecific and cultural parameters in serving college populations.
