"The concept of Intersectionality breathes a dynamic understanding for the clinician. In this superbly crafted volume, the authors edify and inspire both clinician and supervisor with a deeper grasp of the multifaced world we and our clients inhabit. This practical book, with humility, gives you, the clinician, new tools, toward the quest of becoming a master healer."

"If 'intersectionality' is the fourth wave in psychotherapy, this book serves as a strong propellor that drives the movement forward. A collective effort by leading practitioners and researchers in the field, this book translates the innovative concept of intersectionality into clinical application through the writers’ stories about their own social locations and the intriguing real-life cases. As an educator, a practitioner, and an advocate, I have this book to thank for making 'intersectionality' learnable, teachable, and doable."
