Psychological interventions and cultural diversity

About this book

As the ethnic population of the United States continues to grow, so too does the need for addressing an array of psychological problems faced by ethnic groups. The challenge to mental health professionals is to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to address these needs and problems, as well as to organize mental health services to treat ethnic groups in a sensitive, timely, and effective manner. This highly useful, new resource helps professionals meet that challenge. The book helps the therapist identify the relevant issues faced by ethnic minorities, and it identifies intervention strategies that can be used with ethnic groups.
