Essentials of Culture in Psychological Assessment
John Wiley & Sons Inc (Verlag)
978-1-394-17317-4 (ISBN)
In Essentials of Culture in Psychological Assessment, editor Jordan A. Wright curates a collection of invaluable work that helps psychological assessors be more deliberate in acknowledging—and, in some cases, mitigating—the role that culture and cultural experiences can play in the psychological assessment process. It encourages assessors to think about cultural issues as they relate to clients, including the cultural background clients bring with them to the assessment and the oppressive experiences they may have endured.
You'll explore the roles that power and privilege might play in the assessment process and the cultural variables that affect the interaction with clients and the process as it unfolds. You'll also discover how culture and oppression can be considered and accounted for throughout the entire lifecycle of a psychological assessment.
Readers will also find:
Tools and strategies for conducting culture-informed and diversity-sensitive psychological assessment
Techniques for understanding the data that arises from clients from various backgrounds
Ways to integrate culture into every aspect of psychological assessment
Perfect for psychology clinicians of all kinds, Essentials of Culture in Psychological Assessment is a can't-miss resource that will inform, improve, and transform the way you conduct psychological testing and assessment on clients from a variety of cultural backgrounds.
