This unique book examines the physical, psychological, social, and
environmental factors that support or undermine healthy development
in American Indian children, including economics, biology, and
public policies. The reasons for mental health issues among
American Indian and Alaska Native children have not been well
understood by investigators outside of tribal communities.
Developing appropriate methodological approaches and evidence-based
programs for helping these youths is an urgent priority in
developmental science. This work must be done in ways that are
cognizant of how the negative consequences of colonization
contribute to American Indian and Alaska Native tribal members'
underutilization of mental health services, higher therapy dropout
rates, and poor response to culturally insensitive treatment
programs. This book examines the forces affecting psychological
development and mental health in American Indian children today.
Experts from leading universities discuss factors such as family
conditions, economic status, and academic achievement, as well as
political, social, national, and global influences, including
racism. Specific attention is paid to topics such as the role of
community in youth mental health issues, depression in American
Indian parents, substance abuse and alcohol dependency, and the
unique socioeconomic characteristics of this ethnic group. Includes
both a subject and author index to facilitate further research
