Multicultural aspects of psychology have received some attention in
the literature in the last decade. A number of texts currently
address these significant concerns, for example, Counseling the
Culturally Different (Sue & Sue, 2008); Handbook of
Multicultural Counseling ( Poterotto et l., 2009); and Handbook of
Multicultural Counseling Competencies (Pope-Davis & Coleman,
2005). In their most recent editions, several of these books
address more nuanced complexities of diversity, for example, the
intersections of gender or social class with race-ethnicity.
Meanwhile, other texts have addressed gender issues in psychology
(Handbook of Counseling Women, Counseling Men), with some attention
paid to racial-ethnic and other diversity concerns. Clearly the
progression of scholarship in this field reflects the importance of
incorporating multiple aspects of diversity within psychology.
However, no book currently exists that fully addresses the
complexities of race-ethnicity and gender together. Better
understanding of the dual impact of race-ethnicity and gender on
psychological functioning may lead to more effective
conceptualizations of a number of mental health issues, such as
domestic violence, addictions, health-related behaviors and
achievement. Exploring the impact of race-ethnicity and gender also
may provide a broader understanding of self-in-community, as this
affects individuals, families and other social groups and work and
career development. Topics of interest may include identity
development, worldviews and belief systems, parenting styles,
interventions for promoting resilience and persistence and
strategies for enhancing more accurate diagnostic and treatment
modalities. Today's world is comprised of multiple and intersecting
communities that remain in need of psychological models and
interventions that support and promote both individual and
collective mental health. We believe that utilizing unidimensional
conceptual models (e.g. focusing solely on race-ethnicity or
gender) no longer adequately addresses psychological concerns that
are dynamic, complex and multi-faceted. The proposed Handbook will
focus on timely topics which historically have been under-addressed
for a number of diverse populations.
