- Contents
There is no one method for doing culturally alert counseling. Instead, culturally alert counseling consists of intentionally adapting existing ways to help clients (1) understand their socially constructed worldviews through culture, (2) appreciate their various cultures, (3) to make choices about adherence to cultural norms, and (4) to recognize and respond to external bias relating to their cultural group membership.
The book uses culturally alert counseling to address the unique challenges faced by African American males. It helps them understand their socially constructed worldviews, appreciate their cultural heritage, make informed choices about cultural norms, and recognize and respond to external biases.
