Currently, the mental health workforce is neither trained nor
staffed in a way that appropriately addresses the essential needs
of the growing multicultural population. This must change. The 21st
century requires an innovative paradigm in multicultural psychology
in order to improve the standard for mental health professionals.
Building Multicultural Competency answers this need by providing a
new Multiracial/Multiethnic/Multicultural Competency Building
Model-a model that, in great detail, provides relevant solutions to
this growing problem. This book will supply individuals, students,
professionals, educators, and administrators who are involved in
the field of psychology with a map on how to build the
multicultural competency skills that will allow them to function
cross-culturally. The resolutions are personally enriching, helpful
to diverse peoples, and influential to other individuals, groups,
and institutions.
In the face of centuries of institutional and interpersonal racism, in the light of the signals they receive from society, and given the choices they must make about what they want from life and how to go about getting it - how can Black men in America realize their full potential? Black Man Emerging is a moving psychological and social portrait that reflects their personal views on the struggle of Black men against oppression and for self-determination. Using numerous case histories and biographical sketches of Black men who have failed and those who have prevailed, the authors describe strategies for responding to racism and entrenched power - underscoring the healing capacity of religion, family, Black consciousness movements, mentorships, educational programs, paid employment, and other positive forces. They also explore the concept of identity as it applies to being Black and male and the influence of Black men on American culture.

The "Troubled" Adolescent: Challenges and Resilience Within Family
and Multicultural Contexts is written for students and clinicians
who want to learn about adolescent behavioral health and
psychosocial development. It focuses on the experiences of
culturally diverse adolescents and families including, but not
limited to, diversity based on race, ethnicity, gender identity,
sexual orientation, spirituality, ability/disability status, age,
nationality, language, and socioeconomic status. Written from a
bioecological and strength-based perspective, it views adolescents
as having the power to initiate growth and recover from setbacks.
The book is clinically focused and intended to build readers'
multicultural competence when working with youth and families. Six
chapters focus on challenges and treatment for specific concerns,
such as trauma- and stressor-related disorders, depression and
anxiety, suicidal and nonsuicidal self-injury, eating disturbances,
substance use disorders, and disruptive behaviors. The book
balances theory and application, and provides information about
screening, diagnosis (based on the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, DSM-5), prevention, and
treatment. Chapters contain case vignettes, self-reflective
questions, discussion questions, suggestions for working with
adolescents, and key terms. Special attention is given to family
and cultural expressions and explanations for symptoms. Interactive
learning opportunities are included as QR codes to meet diverse
learning needs and to help readers apply information.
