An African American proverb states, “We stand on the head and shoulders of many who have gone on before us.” Certainly, this book would not have been possible without their wisdom, commitment, and sacrifice. We thank them for their inspiration, courage, and dedication, and hope they will look down on us and be pleased with our work. We would like to acknowledge all the dedicated multicultural pioneers in the field who have journeyed with us along the path of multiculturalism before it became fashionable. We also wish to thank the staff of John Wiley & Sons for the enormous time and effort they have placed in obtaining, evaluating, and providing us with the necessary data and feedback to produce this edition of CCD. Their help was no small undertaking, and we feel fortunate in having Wiley as our publisher.

Working on this ninth edition continues to be a labor of love. It would not have been possible, however, without the love and support of our families, who provided the patience and nourishment that sustained us throughout our work on the text. Derald Wing Sue wishes to express his love for his wife, Paulina, his son, Derald Paul, his daughter, Marissa Catherine, and his grandchildren, Caroline, Juliette, Niam, and Kiran. Helen A. Neville wishes to express her deepest love and appreciation for her life partner, Sundiata K. Cha‐Jua, her daughters, and the memory of her parents. Laura Smith expresses love and appreciation for the support of her partner, Sean Kelleher, as well as her extended family. David Sue wishes to express his love and appreciation to his wife, Diane, his children, Joel, Jennifer, & Christina, and twin grandsons, Adrian & Joaquin.

We hope that Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory and Practice, ninth edition, will stand for “truth to power” and continue to be the standard‐bearer of multicultural counseling and therapy texts in the field.
