Financial Armageddon: Protecting Your Future from Four Impending Catastrophes
According to Michael Panzner, the US is less than two years away from “”financial Armageddon.”" When the stock market bubble burst in March 2000, the collapse that followed wiped out over two-thirds of the value of the technology-laden Nasdaq Index and decimated the hopes and dreams of millions of Americans.
Now, imagine not one, but four such disasters looming on the horizon. Four key elements–Debt, Derivatives, Government Guarantees, and the Retirement system–are quickly unraveling, and because they are so intricately connected, there will be an unremitting domino effect. With time running out, this is a disaster-in-the-making on which every American must be informed so they can protect themselves, their families, and their economic well-being before it’s too late.

Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory and Practice
The bestselling resource and most cited reference in multicultural counseling and therapy
Thoroughly revised, Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory and Practice, Fourth Edition is “the classic” in the field of multicultural counseling and therapy. This latest edition offers a contemporary expansion of the definition of multicultural counseling that pushes the boundaries of the field and allows for a more inclusive and meaningful way of looking at and treating diverse populations.
Noted experts Derald Wing Sue and David Sue have updated the book to include new developments in research, theory, and practice. Major additions include: a more expansive definition of multiculturalism; the most recent statistics on the changing complexion of society; and implications for counseling and clinical practice that these changes have precipitated, which are forcing clinicians to redefine their roles and reeducate themselves on how to tend to these varied populations.
Completely updated, Counseling the Culturally Diverse includes:
- New chapters on counseling biracial/multiracial populations, women, gays/lesbians, the physically challenged, the elderly, and monocultural organizations
- A new section in every chapter covering “Implications for Clinical Practice”
- Updated chapters on counseling African Americans, Asian Americans, Latino/Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans
- New clinical case studies and real-life examples illustrating the concepts of multicultural counseling and therapy in action
Combining a sound conceptual framework for multicultural counseling with proven therapeutic methods for specific populations, Counseling the Culturally Diverse remains the best source of real-world counseling preparation for students and the most enlightened and influential guide for all mental health professionals.
