Serving Refugee Children shows the struggles and traumatic
experiences that unaccompanied and undocumented children undergo
they seek safety in the United States and instead find
imprisonment, separation from their families, and immigration
enforcement raids. Current legislation and bureaucracy limit
publication of first-person narratives from unaccompanied and
undocumented children, but service providers and grassroots
activists authoring the pieces in this collection bear witness to
the children's brave human spirits in their search for safety in
the United States. Through the power of storytelling, Serving
Refugee Children exposes the many hardships unaccompanied and
undocumented children endure, including current detention center
conditions. No child should have to live the persecution suffered
by children featured in these stories, nor should they have to
embark upon perilous journeys across Latin America or be subjected
to the difficult immigration court process unaided. Researchers and
readers who believe that the emotional bonding of storytelling can
humanize discussions and lead to immigration policies that foster a
culture of engagement and interconnectedness will be interested in
this volume.

The Latinx population has experienced fast growth and is highly
diverse, for example, in terms of immigration status, being born in
the United States or other countries of origin, cultural variation,
skin color, and language preference. Access to linguistically and
culturally relevant services is crucial yet extremely limited.
Assessment is an essential aspect of ethical mental health practice
and has significant implications at the time it is conducted as
well as in the future. Cultural Competency in Psychological
Assessment: Working Effectively with Latinx Populations focuses on
the practical application of culturally informed assessment
approaches with Latinx persons in mental health settings. Drs.
Mercado and Venta discuss the mental health needs of the Latinx
population and provide guidance on the best practices to use when
working with this cultural group, such as incorporating cultural
humility and cultural awareness in psychological assessments and
using cultural clinical interview techniques. Latinx cultural
values, cultural conceptualization, and clinical implications for
working with Latinx patients are discussed at length. Cultural
Competency in Psychological Assessment also covers topics such as
linguistic considerations, working with interpreters, dealing with
prejudice and microaggressions, working with undocumented and
immigrant clients including children, and recommendations for
future research. This book is a resource of clinical utility for
psychologists and other mental health practitioners working with
the Latinx community as well as for graduate students in psychology
and psychiatry residents.
