The second edition of Critical Social Justice in Counseling, Psychology, and Psychotherapy: A Case Study Approach offers readers a unique perspective on clinical practice in a multifaceted society.

The text advances readers' understanding that ethnic group and race categories are useful but limited without the inclusion of the intersectionality of the Group of Seven (Big 7) identities (and beyond): race/culture/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientations, class, disability, religion/spirituality, age, along with weightism and ethical non-monogamy. Key concepts, such as multiple and intersecting cultural identities and social locations, power, privilege, stereotyping, discrimination, prejudice, and oppression, are explored through various points of entry.

The book supports the construction of an intersubjective, intrapsychic, and relational space in practice. Each chapter includes a case vignette that illustrates how cultural, historical, economical, and sociopolitical contexts offer a background to social justice theory and practice, as well as reflective questions to help readers think critically.

The second edition features five new readings that address sociopolitical polarization and counseling interventions; decolonization and indigenization and their impacts in psychology; advancing equity, diversity, inclusion, decolonization, and accessibility in psychology education and training; family and system; and internationalization of counselling, psychology, and psychotherapy.

Critical Social Justice in Counseling, Psychology, and Psychotherapy is essential for students and practitioners within various helping professions.
