“…The ADRESSING model draws attention to nine cultural factors (and the corresponding minority groups) that counseling and psychological research have shown to be in need of special attention: Ethnicity (including race), National origin, and Indigenous cultural heritage (American Psychological Association, 1993;Sue, Arredondo, & McDavis, 1992;Sue et al, 1982); Gender (American Psychological Association, 1978; Brown, 1990); Age and generational influences (Butler, Lewis, & Sunderland, 1991;Hays, in press;Steuer, 1982;Storandt, 1983); Social status, including socioeconomic status, formal education, urban-rural origins, family name, and other factors (Acosta, Yamamoto, Evans, & Wilcox, 1982;Jones, 1974); Sexual orientation (American Psychological Association, 1991;Garnets, Hancock, Cochran, Goodchilds, & Peplau, 1991;Pope, 1995); Religion (Koltko, 1990;Miller, 1992;Quackenbos, Privette, & Klentz, 1986); and Disability (Helwig & Holicky, 1994;Lombana, 1989). These factors or influences can be rearranged to create the slightly misspelled acronym ADRESSING (see Table 1).…”
