An Intersectional Approach
Fourth Edition
This latest edition invites readers to move beyond a one-dimensional view of identity to a nuanced understanding of the overlapping cultural influences that affect us all.
The updated edition introduces culturally-adapted cognitive behavioral tools and new content on gender identity, people with disabilities, and social justice as it relates to therapeutic practice.
Richly illustrated with new case material, vignettes, and practical examples, this book offers invaluable resources for students to develop cultural competence and apply the ADDRESSING framework in real-world clinical settings.
We are pleased to offer supplementary resources to instructors who use this latest edition in their courses:
“This new edition gives mental health providers a comprehensive, user-friendly guide for providing inclusive clinical assessment and interventions to people who identify with diverse identities. Their voices and cultural contexts are highlighted through clinical examples and the most recent psychological research—making this an ideal resource for students, trainees, and early career professionals.”
—Linda R. Mona, PhD, licensed clinical psychologist, Long Beach, CA
“Dr. Hays artfully weaves together critical insights to improve practitioner understanding of the complexity of diversity and intersectionality, how to make meaningful connections and strengthen the working alliance, and how to increase cultural responsiveness in both treatment and assessment.”
