Reviews"Multicultural Care makes it clear that achieving cultural competence is a complex, continuous and developmental learning process. The book gives strong rationale for building cultural competence, translates concepts into actions, teaches skills and informs future directions. Comas-Diaz intended her book for graduate students, clinicians in training, novice therapists and seasoned practitioners, a wide audience to be sure, but all strongly advised to acquire and digest this needed and influential resource." - New England Psychologist
