The first volume of its kind, this provocative book evaluates the
construct of cultural competence from multiple perspectives. At the
intersection of diverse disciplines and domains, contributors argue
for greater clarity in understanding the cultural competence
construct, a deeper level of analysis as to its multifaceted
components, and call for concrete practical objectives and
science-based means of measurement. Serious, nuanced discussion
addresses challenges, strengths, and limitations of current
cultural competence practice in terms of sociocultural concepts
(e.g., race, ethnicity) and practical concepts (e.g., sensitivity
in the therapeutic relationship, treatment efficacy). In addition,
contributors identify future directions for research, training, and
practice with the potential to spur the further evolution of this
clinically important construct. This timely book: Critiques the
cultural competence construct and its evaluation as it is currently
disseminated within applied psychology. Compares and contrasts how
cultural competence is defined within clinical, school, and
counseling psychology. Analyzes difficulties and challenges in
understanding the cultural competence construct as evaluated
through the lens of closely related fields outside of applied
psychology. Spotlights complexities in cultural competence issues
pertaining to specific populations. Sets out implications for
education and training, offering a detailed outline for an ideal
college course in cultural competence With this level of reasoning
and rigor, Cultural Competence in Applied Psychology is sure to
stimulate long-overdue dialogue and debate among professionals
across a wide variety of fields, such as clinical psychology,
social work, child and social psychology, psychotherapy, school
psychology, and counseling.
