The movements toward cultural sensitivity and evidence-based
practice are watershed developments in clinical psychology. As a
population with a long history of substandard treatment from mental
health systems, African Americans have especially benefitted from
these improvements. But as with other racial and ethnic minorities,
finding relevant test measures in most psychological domains
presents clinicians with an ongoing challenge. The Guide to
Psychological Assessment with African Americans aims to close the
evaluation/therapy gap by giving practitioners the tools to choose
appropriate instruments while respecting client individuality.
Expert contributors analyze scarce and far-flung data, identify
strengths and limitations of measures and norms in their use with
African-American clients, and advise on avoiding biases in
interpreting results. The editors advocate for a theory-based
hypothesis-testing approach to assessment when empirical evidence
is lacking, and offer guidelines for decision-making that is
effective as well as ethnically aware. The Guide's findings,
insights, and practical information cover the gamut of test and
diagnostic areas, including: IQ and personality. Generalized
anxiety disorder, panic, and phobias. Neuropsychological
assessment, cognitive decline, and dementia. Mood disorders and
suicidality. Forensic assessment, risk, and recidivism. Measures
specific to children and adolescents. Plus PTSD, substance
disorders, eating pathology, and more. Expertly complementing
cross-cultural treatment texts, the Guide to Psychological
Assessment with African Americans stands out as a trustworthy
resource for treatment planning useful to clinical psychologists,
neuropsychologists, and clinical social workers.
