VISTAS Online is an innovative publication produced for ACA by Dr. Garry R. Walz and Dr. Jeanne C. Bleuer of Counseling Outfitters, LLC.

Papers on a program or practice that has been validated through research or experience may also be submitted.

VISTAS Online contains the full text of over 900 proprietary counseling articles published from 2004 to 2017. 2005 In this article, the Multicultural Counseling Competencies (MCC) (Sue, Arredondo, & McDavis, 1992) and the Dimensions of Personal Identity (DPI) model (Arredondo et al.,1996) are used as paradigms for examining the opportunities and avenues for counseling with all families. These are multidimensional and interdependent paradigms, particularly suitable for discussing diverse family structures, for recognizing a myriad of historical, societal, and political forces that are currently affecting families, and for providing insights for counselors working with challenges introduced by unique families. Ultimately, the MCC (Figure 1) and PDI (Figure 2) will assist the counselor’s facilitation of family empowerment
