Abstract	Goodman, Liang, Helms, Latta, Sparks, and Weintraub identify principles that drive the social justice work of the faculty and students at Boston College. Significantly, they present concrete examples of the successes, personal struggles, and institutional restrictions that are encountered in this work. An extremely valuable contribution of the authors is that they stimulate thinking about counseling theory relative to its application to mental health practice in oppressive societies. In encouraging the development of social change agents in counseling psychology, we build on the contribution by emphasizing the relevance of (a) instruction on philosophy to inform theory development and research on social justice, (b) racial identity theory as a framework for explaining and tackling oppression, and (c) anthropological approaches to gain an understanding of the contexts in which social justice research and practice are conducted. Implications of these recommendations are addressed in the conclusion. (Author).
