The Latinx population has experienced fast growth and is highly
diverse, for example, in terms of immigration status, being born in
the United States or other countries of origin, cultural variation,
skin color, and language preference. Access to linguistically and
culturally relevant services is crucial yet extremely limited.
Assessment is an essential aspect of ethical mental health practice
and has significant implications at the time it is conducted as
well as in the future. Cultural Competency in Psychological
Assessment: Working Effectively with Latinx Populations focuses on
the practical application of culturally informed assessment
approaches with Latinx persons in mental health settings. Drs.
Mercado and Venta discuss the mental health needs of the Latinx
population and provide guidance on the best practices to use when
working with this cultural group, such as incorporating cultural
humility and cultural awareness in psychological assessments and
using cultural clinical interview techniques. Latinx cultural
values, cultural conceptualization, and clinical implications for
working with Latinx patients are discussed at length. Cultural
Competency in Psychological Assessment also covers topics such as
linguistic considerations, working with interpreters, dealing with
prejudice and microaggressions, working with undocumented and
immigrant clients including children, and recommendations for
future research. This book is a resource of clinical utility for
psychologists and other mental health practitioners working with
the Latinx community as well as for graduate students in psychology
and psychiatry residents.
