Having the knowledge and capacity to deliver therapy to a diverse
population is recognized as benefiting client-therapist
relationships and producing positive clinical outcomes. In fact,
the APA requires that psychologists be aware of and respect the
cultural characteristics of their clients which includes
psychologists being aware of any biases and prejudice they may
hold. Being aware of cultural characteristics, which include age,
gender, ethnicity, race, religion and other cultural factors, is
important. In the United States, minority ethnic groups are growing
substantially, with 28% of the U.S. population identifying as races
other than white (U.S. Census, 2016). Additionally, approximately
65 million people in America speak a foreign language that is not
English, with over 25 million people having limited English
language proficiency. With a diverse pool of clients, helping
professionals should be better prepared to work with diverse
clients. This handbook offers clinicians a comprehensive resource
with which to work with diverse populations. The myriad discussions
among the chapters include: Ethical guidelines for working with
culturally diverse clients Cultural considerations in psychological
assessment and evaluation Behavioral health service delivery with
culturally diverse clients Cross-cultural factors in the treatment
of trauma related disorders Cultural considerations in the
assessment and behavioral treatment of substance use disorders
Handbook of Cultural Factors in Behavioral Health expertly offers
clinicians a comprehensive set of resources and tools that will
assist them working with diverse clients. Clinicians working with
culturally diverse clients, as well as researchers and students
learning about how cultural factors are relevant to the helping
profession will all find this volume an integral addition to their
library.
