Counseling for Social Justice

Lee (Counselor Education Program, University of Maryland) addresses social justice and its role in the counseling profession. Contributors examine the social, cultural, and economic systems that perpetuate inequality, and look at ideas for promoting social justice among historically marginalized or oppressed groups. They examine professional issues that must be considered when social justice becomes integrated with counseling practice, such as the fair use of assessment, conducting research with a social justice emphasis, and training counselors in social justice.
