Despite the increasing demand for psychotherapy among communities of color, the field of clinical psychology has not been able to adequately address the need for services and reduce existing mental health disparities in these populations. The book's editors and chapter authors aim to help to eliminate these disparities, offering this book in anticipation that it will become a framework for training clinical psychologists in providing culturally sensitive and evidence-based treatments.
The first objective of the book is to provide a state-of-the-art review of psychopathology, assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and psychotherapy outcomes across African Americans, American Indians and Alaska Natives, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, and Hispanic Americans. The second objective is to use an evidence-based approach to examine the influence of culture in assessment, psychopathology, and treatment. Chapters in Part I address diagnosis and assessment among these populations, while chapters in Part II discuss treatments and interventions. Each part ends with a commentary article by leading scholars in the field.
With the goal of advancing the field of the clinical psychology in communities of color, this volume will be indispensable for a multidisciplinary audience conducting clinical research and providing clinical services.
