health professionals interested in exploring interprofessional
practices sensitive to issues of diversity."-Ralph Masi MD

important insights into how cultural competency can be
conceptualized and practiced within an interprofessional practice
model'...a very valuable contribution to clinical practice and
diversity."-Stanley Sue Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry
University of California, Davis
"Interprofessionalism' and diversity informed practice', the two
concepts that underscore the text are valuable, conceptually sound,
providing a solid framework within which authors construct their
cases and within which they make their arguments and
assertions."-J.B. Orange Associate Professor University of Western
Ontario in London
"It is excellent!....Unfortunately it is not an approach that
institutions feel comfortable with yet. Hence, the tremendous need
for this book. The case studies illustrate the approach very
effectively."-Else Hamayan Illinois Resource Center

provide a thorough discussion of the challenges' encountered...the
broad definition of culture alerts professionals and provides them
with a good overview of cultural issues that may influence their

Russell Professor of Social Work University of British Columbia

seen emphasized before in multicultural contexts....It is very well
written and engages the reader with the human stories around which
the case studies are organized."-Jim Cummins Professor Institute
