With the growing interest in the great number of culturally,
linguistically, and ethnically different families entering the
United States, it is essential for researchers and mental health
practitioners to acquire a working knowledge that can aid in a
healthier adjustment of these families. Although it is impossible
for any therapist to understand the traditions, values, and
languages of all immigrant groups, a therapist may be guided by a
conceptual operational principle that can be implemented across
diverse groups and circumstances. Dr. Gopaul-McNicol introduces a
model for assessment; the techniques and strategies proposed by
this model range from cognitive behavioral interventions to
multimodal and multisystems approaches to treatment.
The book covers historical and contemporary perspectives of the
influence of culture on an individual's functioning. Assessment
issues include intellectual, educational and visual motor
assessment and its applicability with culturally diverse clients.
The author also highlights ways of misassessing the personality of
culturally different individuals and examines the major treatment
approaches in counseling the culturally different.
