Voices of Color: First Person Accounts of Ethnic Minority Therapists is the first book to address the training, academic, and professional experiences of ethnic minority therapists. Using real cases, narratives, and biographical material, each chapter motivates the reader to ponder and challenge how issues related to mental health intersect with race/ethnicity within a broader diversity framework. The contributors represent various mental health disciplines, and they all write from a systemic perspective on therapy cases, theory, new models, and research. The authors present powerful narratives of how their personal and professional experiences inform each other.

About the Author

Mudita Rastogi, Ph.D., LMFT, is Professor of Clinical Psychology at the American School of Professional Psychology, Argosy University in Schaumburg, Illinois. She obtained her Ph.D. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Texas Tech University. Additionally she has earned undergraduate and master’s degrees in Psychology from University of Delhi and University of Bombay, India.

Dr. Rastogi has published in the areas of family and couple therapy, cross-cultural and gender issues and South Asian families, and is editor of the book Voices of Color: First-Person Accounts of Ethnic Minoriity Therapists (2005, Sage). She is the Associate Editor for the Journal of Marital and Family Therapy.

Dr. Rastogi has over fifteen years of clinical experience in both India and the United States with a highly diverse client population, and is in private practice in Arlington Heights, Illinois as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Her clinical interests include couples, families, adolescents, cultural and gender issues, domestic violence and trauma. She frequently presents workshops nationally and internationally and also conducts training and consultation in the area of leadership.

Additionally, Dr. Rastogi maintains an interest in volunteering and partnering with grassroots, not-for-profit organizations. She is an AAMFT Clinical Member and Approved Supervisor, and a founding member of the Indian Association for Family Therapy.


Elizabeth Wieling, Ph.D. Research interests involve the development of culturally sensitive and effective clinical interventions, cross-cultural therapy and supervision, inter-cultural couple relationships, and issues related to the status of women, including their mental health, family relationships, education, economic well-being, and political influence in the United States and abroad.

I am currently investigating the cultural adaptation processes involved in modifying an evidence based parenting treatment program to better fit the cultural characteristics of a sample of at-risk Latina single mothers and children. Specifically, I am analyzing the Parenting Through Change parenting intervention developed at the Oregon Social Learning Center for its cultural relevance using an Ecological Cultural Model. I am examining the dimensions and specific cultural processes to be modified and integrated into the culturally adapted intervention, which will be manualized for later implementation. Experimental groups comprised of the standard and culturally adapted parenting interventions will be implemented to further understand issues related to study effectiveness and efficacy with this population. This study is being conducted as part of a 5-year Career Development Award funded by the National Institute on Mental Health.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-written, readable book for therapists of any color
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2009

I found this book extremely interesting, particularly since it addresses multiculturalism from the perspective of therapists of color/different ethnicities. As an immigrant myself, I found it very helpful for me personally, even though my ethnic background is Caucasian.
I would recommend it for anyone in the helping professions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific, one-of-a-kind
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2004
"Voices of Color" is a fascinating read. It is a collection of chapters written by ethnic minority therapists, all of whom have stories to share. The authors write about their personal background and how that impacts their current professional choices, and interests.

The book is interesting because it makes the connection between one's personal experiences and one's values, career paths and beliefs. Writers also reflect on real psychotherapy cases and other situations in their work that helped me understand subtle truths about race, ethnicity and privilege.

Most of the material is related to psychotherapy, but I found the book to be packed with eye-opening (sometimes painful) thoughts that are applicable to everyday life. I really liked the questions and exercises at the end of each chapter. While the book also contains theory and research for scholars interested in ethnicity, it is very accessible to non-therapists too.

In the end, I learned a lot about myself and my own attitudes towards diversity from this diverse set of writers reflecting on the meaning of their own ethnicity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Giving "Voices of Color" a Voice
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2004
This book is for anyone interested in diversity. Most of the 19 chapters are written by university faculty and student therapists. However, the academic rigor should not discourage someone who wants to read compelling personal stories about race, culture, and ethnicity. The authors courageously share their own struggles with diversity issues, and these narratives educate the reader along the way. Therefore, the book will not only become an important textbook for students but will also provide a thoughtful forum for diversity discussions.

Hi, I am a psychology grad student. One of my professors recommended this book to me and I'm so glad I read it! This book describes the experiences of therapists of color in the real world. It was very interesting to read this because I hadn't come across a wonderful book like this before. I think this book will be an extremely valuable resource in work places with diversity. I recommend this book for all clinicians and students.
