Specifically, multicultural literature in the cou nseling and psychotherapy fields is presented as it relates to consultation . Ways in which culture may affect the consultant, consultee, and client ar e suggested. Because of the paucity of multicultural research in consultati on and lack of major break-throughs in multicultural research as related to consultation, a conceptual framework related to the utility of multicultur al issues is presented as a new paradigm for future investigations.
