America is undeniably a multicultural country. We have known this for a long time, but this fact
really "jumped off the page" during the 2008 election cycle. It is something to appreciate and
celebrate. But there also is no denying that for counselors in the addiction field that fact presents
challenges as well.
This issue of Resource Links tries to put those challenges in perspective and turn them into
opportunities-opportunities for counselors to grow personally and to expand their knowledge
and skills in the area of cultural competency and relevance.
The noted medieval philosopher/theologian Thomas Aquinas once said, "Quidquid recipitur
recipitur secundum modem recipientis." For those of you who used Latin class in high school
to work on your other homework, it translates simply as "Whatever is received is received
according to the mode of the receiver."
