Abstract

The Multicultural Counseling Movement (MCM) is increasingly gaining popularity as the world we live in changes and counselors from all specialties are expected to help more and more people transition into the new milieu. The integrative literature review method was used to analyze reference articles cited by Sue and Sue (2008) in their delineation of the 5 foci of discussion surrounding the Multicultural Counseling Movement. Three books by M. Csikszentmihalyi (1993; 1996; 1997) were then used to explore the potential of Flow Theory to contribute to these discussions.
