I can see how the editor of this book might have thought that having each chapter submitted by a different author would be appropriate for a book about multicultural counseling (like a melting pot of authors). However, I felt like the book was kind of disconnected because of all the different viewpoints. Some of them defined certain terms in different ways, and some of them quoted statistics that conflicted with others' quoted statistics. Some of the chapters were very dry and filled with lengthy sentences and difficult language, while other chapters were very straightforward and easy to read. Overall, I did not enjoy reading this book, and did not get much out of it.
