And the homoerotic Elizabethan poem of the day is...

Yesterday I posted a link on Facebook to a sonnet by Richard Barnfield, an Elizabethan poet who explicitly addressed his love poetry to a man.

New book on culturally diverse counseling

I seem to recall speaking to someone about trying to find texts on this subject

Culturally Diverse Counseling: Theory and Practice (Sage, 2019)
Dr. Elsie Jones-Smith

Synopsis Culturally Diverse Counseling: Theory and Practice by Elsie Jones-Smith adopts a unique strengths-based approach in teaching students to focus on the positive attributes of individual clients and incorporate those strengths, along with other essential cultural considerations, into their diagnosis and treatment. With an emphasis on strengths as recommended in the 2017 multicultural guidelines set forth by the American Psychological Association (APA), this comprehensive text includes considerations for clinical practice with twelve groups, including older adults, immigrants and refugees, clients with disabilities, and multiracial clients. Each chapter includes practical guidelines for counselors, including opportunities for students to identify and curb their own implicit and explicit biases. A final chapter on social class, social justice, intersectionality, and privilege reminds readers of the various factors they must consider when working with clients of all backgrounds.
