To effectively serve minority clients, clinicians require a double
understanding: of both evidence-based practice and the cultures
involved. This particularly holds true when working with
Asian-Americans, a diverse and growing population. The Guide to
Psychological Assessment with Asians synthesizes real-world
challenges, empirical findings, clinical knowledge and common-sense
advice to create a comprehensive framework for practice. This
informed resource is geared toward evaluation of first-generation
Asian Americans and recent immigrants across assessment methods
(self-report measures, projective tests), settings (school,
forensic) and classes of disorders (eating, substance, sexual).
While the Guide details cross-cultural considerations for working
with Chinese-, Japanese-, Korean and Indian-American clients, best
practices are also included for assessing members of less populous
groups without underestimating, overstating or stereotyping the
role of ethnicity in the findings. In addition, contributors
discuss diversity of presentation within groups and identify ways
that language may present obstacles to accurate evaluation. Among
the areas covered in this up-to-date reference: Structured and
semi-structured clinical interviews. Assessment of acculturation,
enculturation and culture. IQ testing. Personality disorders.
Cognitive decline and dementia. Mood disorders and suicidality.
Neuropsychological assessment of children, adolescents and adults.
Culture-bound syndromes. Designed for practitioners new to working
with Asian clients as well as those familiar with the population,
the Guide to Psychological Assessment with Asians is exceedingly
useful to neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, health
psychologists and clinical social workers.
