Critical Theories in Counselor Education is a textbook designed to center and apply critical theories (i.e., Critical Race Theory, Feminist Theory, Queer Theory, Critical Disability Theory, Critical Indigenous
Theory, and Black Critical Theory) to counselor education. This book espouses that critical theory is central and foundational to the five CACREP doctoral domains. As such, Critical Theories in Counselor
Education equips both faculty and students with the theoretical grounding and applied tools to challenge
systems of oppression, reimagine counselor identity, and transform counseling praxis in ways that promote equity and liberation. Mainly, this book challenges the unspoken assumptions about humanness
and being, normalcy and deviance that undergird systems of oppression. As the counseling profession grapples with complex societal inequities and calls for anti-oppressive practice, this book provides a timely and essential resource for re-envisioning counselor education through a critical, justice-oriented lens.
