Presenting the major trends, theories, and practices in assessing
culturally diverse clients, Advances in Cross-Cultural Assessment
comprises chapters from some of the key leading authors in
intelligence and intelligence testing. Author Ronald J. Samuda and
associates contend that classic IQ tests and traditional
standardized tests of cognitive ability are only appropriate for
middle-class mainstream individuals, not for those of different
cultural backgrounds. For those who grow up in deficient
"environmental backgrounds" (inadequate rearing, serious economic
stress), the traditional objective standardized tests are neither
valid nor reliable in measuring intelligence. A number of scholars,
some of whom are among the bookAEs contributing authors, have
introduced alternative approaches to assessing cognitive ability in
persons from such backgrounds. A groundbreaking volume that
encourages professionals to treat individuals on an individual
basis, Advances in Cross-Cultural Assessment will heighten the
awareness of professionals and academics in clinical and counseling
psychology, educational psychology, social work, psychology, public
health, and ethnic studies.
