This volume presents the single most comprehensive source of
knowledge on the career development of racial and ethnic
minorities. In so doing, it serves as a resource to graduate
students learning about career development and career counseling,
counselors and psychologists providing career counseling to racial
and ethnic minorities, and psychologists and counselors doing
research on the career development of these diverse groups. In
recognition of the value of both culture-specific and
culture-general information about the vocational psychology of
racial and ethnic minorities in the United States, the book has a
dual focus. The first eight chapters are devoted to
culture-specific information about career development and
vocational behavior. The final two chapters synthesize and
integrate the materials presented in the eight culture-specific
chapters. The text has been divided into three sections. The first
section focuses on career theory and research with racial and
ethnic minorities. It consists of a review of the relevance and
utility of various career theories and models from mainstream
vocational psychology to our understanding of the vocational
behavior and career development of racial and ethnic minorities --
African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and
American Indians. These chapters also summarize other theories from
ethnic minority psychology that add to our understanding of
minority career development. Finally, they review the existing
empirical literature on the career development of these groups and
provide a critique of this literature with recommendations for
future research. The second section focuses on assessment and
intervention with racial and ethnic minorities. The inclusion of
the assessment dimension is very important because assessment is
such a large and significant component of the career counseling
process with these groups. The chapter authors offer guidelines and
recommendations for providing career interventions with racial and
ethnic minorities. In presenting these guidelines, they also
address some of the cultural factors unique to each group that may
serve either as facilitators or as inhibitors in the career
counseling process. The third section includes commentaries,
suggestions, reactions, and syntheses of the previous sections from
scholars in the field of vocational psychology. These authors
identify and examine the common principles, problems, and themes
running across the chapters, and offer suggestions for advancing
the field of racial and ethnic minority vocational psychology. This
book will become both a valuable source of current information
about the vocational psychology of racial and ethnic minorities as
well as an inspiration for future research into the career
development and vocational behavior of these culturally different
individuals.
Suicide is increasingly understood and predicted as an intersection
of biological, psychological, cognitive, and sociocultural factors.
We have some basic knowledge of these factors and how they
interact, but presently we know very little about how culture can
play a role as a variable that influences suicide. Suicide Among
Racial and Ethnic Minority Groups will go a long way towards
filling that gap by pulling together cutting edge empirical
research from general cultural diversity literature and applying it
to suicide assessment, treatment, and prevention theory and
practice. By looking outside of the limited cross-cultural studies
done within suicidal populations, the contributors - all
established experts in both multicultural counseling and
suicidology - expand the available empirical literature base in
order to provide a deeper look into how culture can act as an
important catalyst in suicidal intentions. Following theoretical
overviews, the text focuses on six broad ethic groups classified in
the literature (African American, American Indian, Asian American,
European American, Hawaiian & Pacific Islander, and Hispanic),
with a main chapter devoted to each, relating each culture to
suicide research, highlighting specific variables within the
culture that can influence suicide, and presenting appropriate
treatment considerations. A final section of the book consists of
practical applications within specific settings (therapy, outreach,
schools, psychiatric services) and prevention and training issues.

Career Psychology describes the theory, science, and practice of
career counseling, a field that serves as the foundation for career
planning, occupational exploration, career decision-making,
vocational choice, job entry, work adjustment, and retirement. This
book usefully consolidates and advances knowledge about the
scientific foundations and practical applications of vocational
psychology and career counseling, a field that serves as the basis
for career planning, occupational exploration, career decision
making, vocational choice, job entry, work adjustment, and
retirement. Chapters written by expert contributors cover key
theories and approaches, core and emerging constructs, cultural
contexts, and career interventions, showing how counselors can
assist diverse groups of people across developmental age periods to
construct personally meaningful and socially relevant work lives.
This comprehensive work will serve as a ready reference on the
evolution, current status, and future directions of vocational
psychology and is useful for researchers, practitioners, and
students alike.

This book is focused on work, occupation and career development:
themes that are fundamental to a wide range of human activities and
relevant across all cultures. Yet theorizing and model building
about this most ubiquitous of human activities from international
perspectives have not been vigorous. An examination of the
literature pertaining to career development, counseling and
guidance that has developed over the last fifty years reveals
theorizing and model building have been largely dominated by
Western epistemologies, some of the largest workforces in the world
are in the developing world. Career guidance is rapidly emerging as
a strongly felt need in these contexts. If more relevant models are
to be developed, frameworks from other cultures and economies must
be recognized as providing constructs that would offer a deeper
understanding of career development. This does not mean that
existing ideas are to be discarded. Instead, an integrative
approach that blends universal principles with particular needs
could offer a framework for theorizing, research and practice that
has wider relevance. The central objective of this handbook is to
draw the wisdom and experiences of different cultures together to
consider both universal and specific principles for career guidance
and counseling that are socially and economically relevant to
contemporary challenges and issues. This book is focused on
extending existing concepts to broader contexts as well as
introducing new concepts relevant to the discipline of career
guidance and counseling.

The 2-volume APA Handbook of Psychotherapy
comprehensively presents the field based on the primary ways
in which professionals practice psychotherapy and affect such
practice through theory, research, and training. 50
authoritative chapters capture the most representative ways in
which psychotherapists characterize the driving forces behind their
foundational therapeutic approaches. Therapists may: Administer
psychotherapy according to a specific theoretical orientation,
applying this model across most patients and contexts. Use a
specific, "named" therapy to primarily treat patients suffering
from a particular disorder. Draw on research evidence to
administer psychotherapy in a way that can include, but also
transcend, specific theoretical. orientations and disorder-specific
interventions. Generate data and draw on varied forms of research
psychotherapy in a participant-driven and contextually responsive
manner. These chapters represent the latest thinking and evidence
on the most relevant topics across the "big four" psychotherapy
domains of theory, research, practice, and training. All four parts
are written for researchers, practitioners, scholars, and trainers,
with the major difference among the sections being their emphasis
on, and order of, discussing the "big four" elements.
Consistent with the goals for the APA Handbooks in Psychology
series, the purpose of the two-volume APA Handbook of Multicultural
Psychology is to present the best science and best practice within
this subfield of psychology. The first volume covers theory and
research in the foundational areas of psychology as it pertains to
multicultural issues. The second volume covers applications and
training. In addition to providing a historical context for the
field, the Handbook provides a state-of-the-art review across the
major domains of psychology from a multicultural perspective.
During the last several years social scientists have increasingly
recognized the impact of globalization on research and practice. It
is imperative that psychology as a field be cognizant of this
ongoing shift and that psychologists begin to integrate their
various models, theories, and perspectives into a global
curriculum. Sponsored by the International Testing Commission, The
ITC Handbook of International Testing and Assessment is dedicated
to the advancement of theory, research, and practice in the area of
international testing and assessment in psychology, education,
counseling, organizational behavior, human resource management, and
related disciplines. Bringing together international contributors
from a range of disciplines, each chapter provides a review of
testing and assessment research and practices around the world as
well as a discussion of conceptual and methodological challenges to
help advance the field. As The ITC Handbook, it also provides a
historical perspective of international testing, the development of
the ITC, and its guidelines. Recognizing that cultural and
international contexts are essential to a true and accurate
psychology, the authors describe how cultural, economic, political,
and social factors in different countries frame the science and
practice of testing and assessment. The ITC Handbook is a must-have
resource for testing professionals and graduate students from
psychology and related disciplines.
