The second edition of the Handbook of Multicultural School
Psychology continues the mission of its predecessor, offering a
comprehensive, interdisciplinary view of the field of multicultural
school psychology and addressing the needs of children and families
from diverse cultural backgrounds. The revised organizational
structure includes the following: History and Professional Issues;
Consultation and Collaboration; Interventions Focused on Academic
and Mental Health Issues; Data-based Decision Making; Systems-based
Issues; Training and Research; and Future Perspectives. Nineteen of
the volume's twenty-three chapters are completely new to this
edition, while the rest have been effectively revised and updated.
Comprehensive-In seven sections, this book covers theoretical,
research, and practical concerns in a wide range of areas that
include multicultural and bilingual issues, second language
acquisition, acculturation, parent collaboration, research, and
systemic issues. Chapter Structure-Chapter authors follow a uniform
structure that includes theoretical and research issues and
implications for practice. Recent practice and training guidelines
including Blueprint for Training and Practice III (2006), NASP
Model for Comprehensive and Integrated School Psychological
Services (2010), and APA Multicultural Guidelines (2003) are
covered. Interdisciplinary Perspective-Contributing authors are
from a wide range of related fields that include school psychology,
special education, general education, early childhood education,
educational psychology, clinical psychology, counseling, and mental
health, thus exposing readers to theory and research from various
approaches. Changes-New to this edition is a section focusing on
systemic issues such as overrepresentation of culturally and
linguistically diverse (CLD) students in special education,
prejudice, response to intervention (RTI) for CLD students and
English Language Learners (ELL), and end-of-chapter discussion
questions. This book is ideal for graduate courses and seminars on
multicultural school psychology. It is also a useful reference for
researchers and practicing school psychologists and the libraries
that serve them.
