Written by a professional counselor, book primarily focuses on working with boys and men
PRINCETON, N.J., May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A new book lays out the basic principles of multicultural counseling with boys and men, and strategies to support counselors and their clients in traversing the often challenging and painful healing process of racism and racial trauma.
Dr. Roberto Schiraldi penned "Multicultural Counseling With Boys and Men: A Healing Guide," as a response to the general lack of necessary training in multicultural counseling, especially for males. He adds that currently licensed counselors are only required to take minimal generic multicultural counseling training.
"We are all impacted by racism, and this is especially relevant to each counselor and each client we want to support," said Schiraldi, "especially in our current wealthy, white, hetero male supremacy cultural values system in this country."
Schiraldi is a licensed professional counselor, and has been a career trauma therapist and racial justice advocate for over 40 years. He has authored five other books in the Racial Justice Series: "Healing Love Poems for white supremacy culture: Living Our Values," "Unexpurgated* Racial Justice Poetry with Healing Meditations," "Men and Racism: The Healing Path," "Post Traumatic Macho Disorder" and "Awakening With Love For A Life Worth Living."
"Having learned from and being inspired by so many amazing clients and racial justice allies," said Schiraldi, "I felt it important to share some of what I've been gifted. May you find support here for your own healing journey, and with those you are working and growing with."
