The first volume of its kind, this provocative book evaluates the
construct of cultural competence from multiple perspectives. At the
intersection of diverse disciplines and domains, contributors argue
for greater clarity in understanding the cultural competence
construct, a deeper level of analysis as to its multifaceted
components, and call for concrete practical objectives and
science-based means of measurement. Serious, nuanced discussion
addresses challenges, strengths, and limitations of current
cultural competence practice in terms of sociocultural concepts
(e.g., race, ethnicity) and practical concepts (e.g., sensitivity
in the therapeutic relationship, treatment efficacy). In addition,
contributors identify future directions for research, training, and
practice with the potential to spur the further evolution of this
clinically important construct. This timely book: Critiques the
cultural competence construct and its evaluation as it is currently
disseminated within applied psychology. Compares and contrasts how
cultural competence is defined within clinical, school, and
counseling psychology. Analyzes difficulties and challenges in
understanding the cultural competence construct as evaluated
through the lens of closely related fields outside of applied
psychology. Spotlights complexities in cultural competence issues
pertaining to specific populations. Sets out implications for
education and training, offering a detailed outline for an ideal
college course in cultural competence With this level of reasoning
and rigor, Cultural Competence in Applied Psychology is sure to
stimulate long-overdue dialogue and debate among professionals
across a wide variety of fields, such as clinical psychology,
social work, child and social psychology, psychotherapy, school
psychology, and counseling.

This book examines the traditional assumptions made by academics
and professionals alike that have embedded sociopolitical biases
that impede practice. and undermine efforts to achieve an objective
scientific status. If allowed to go unchallenged, the
credibility of psychology as a discipline is compromised. This
contributed volume thoroughly and comprehensively examines this
concern in a conceptually and empirically rigorous manner and
offers constructive solutions for minimizing undue political
influences within the field of psychology. Societies in the 21st
century desperately need reliable psychological science, but we
don’t have it. This important volume explains one of the main
reasons why we are making little progress on any issue that gets
contaminated by the left-right culture war: because the field of
psychology is an enthusiastic member of one of the two teams, so it
rejects findings and researchers who question its ideological
commitments. The authors of this engaging volume also show us the
way out. They diagnose the social dynamics of bias and point
to reforms that would give us the psychology that we need to
address 21st century problems. Jonathan Haidt, Thomas Cooley
Professor of Ethical Leadership, NYU—Stern School of Business and
author of The Righteous Mind The boundaries of free speech,
censorship, moral cultures, social justice, and ideological biases
are among the many incendiary topics discussed in this book. If you
are looking for a deep-dive into real-world contemporary
controversies, Ideological and Political Bias in Psychology fits
the bill. The chapters are thoughtful and thought-provoking. Most
readers will find something to agree with and something to rage at
in almost every chapter. It just may change how you think about
some of these topics. Diane F. Halpern, Professor of Psychology
Emerita, Claremont McKenna College and Past President, American
Psychological Association  Unless the political left is
always correct about everything (in which case, we wouldn’t need
to do research; we could just ask a leftist), the growing political
monoculture of social science is a major barrier to our search for
the truth. This volume shows how ideological bias should be treated
as a source of research error, up there with classic methodological
flaws like non-random assignment and non-blind measurement. Steven
Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and
the author of Rationality  An important read for academics
curious about how their politics fashions beliefs that too often
are uncritically taken for granted, and for non-academics wondering
why we can't shake off the politics that so influences scientific
work. Vernon Smith, Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences and George
L. Argyros Chair in Finance and Economics, Chapman University
Advances and deepens empirically rigorous scholarship into biased
political influences affecting academic and professional
psychology. Offers constructive solutions for minimizing undue
political influences within psychology and moving the field
forward. Serves as a resource for psychological academicians,
researchers, practitioners, and consultants seeking to restore the
principles of accurate science and effective practice to their
respective areas of research. Â Â
