Depression, anxiety, and stress are responsible for an overwhelming
number of mental health care visits, and cognitive behavior therapy
(CBT) offers the most popular, empirically supported approach to
treating these conditions. Yet little is known about the
effectiveness of CBT with African American, Latino, Asian American,
and Native American populations - ethnic and racial groups that
make up nearly half the population of the United States. This
volume shows therapists how to adapt cognitive behavioral
treatments for use with racial and ethnic minority clients.
Contributors demonstrate how a client's particular sociocultural
background contextualizes her experience and understanding of
mental health issues. They examine the influence of sociocultural
context on experiences of social anxiety among Asian-Americans, the
role of racial identity in the way stress and anxiety are
experienced by African-American clients, and much more. They
propose adaptations of standard CBT treatments to maximize their
effectiveness for all clients, regardless of race or ethnicity.
