The second edition of this outstanding text is valuable for any student who will be providing mental health services to culturally diverse populations. The client groups covered include African American, Native American, Asian American, and Hispanic. The text examines the range and types of problems that these “non-traditional” clients present to the practitioner, and suggests approaches to solving them.
Psychological Intervention and Cultural Diversity commences with an overview of the demographics, ethnocultural and sociopolitical concerns, and clinical issues surrounding minority services. Various modes of intervention — individual, group, family psychotherapy, community-based, and traditional indigenous — are described in detail, enumerating the benefits of each approach. Special populations — minority women, youth, immigrants and refugees, and substance abusers — are the focus of part three, and the final four chapters are devoted to research and training issues.
