This timely practical reference addresses the lack of
Spanish-language resources for mental health professionals to use
with their Latino clients. Geared toward both English- and
Spanish-speaking practitioners in a variety of settings, this
volume is designed to minimize misunderstandings between the
clinician and client, and with that the possibility of inaccurate
diagnosis and/or ineffective treatment. Coverage for each topic
features a discussion of cultural considerations, guidelines for
evidence-based best practices, a review of available findings, a
treatment plan, plus clinical tools and client handouts, homework
sheets, worksheets, and other materials. Chapters span a wide range
of disorders and problems over the life-course, and include
reproducible resources for: Assessing for race-based trauma. Using
behavioral activation and cognitive interventions to treat
depression among Latinos. Treating aggression, substance use,
abuse, and dependence among Latino Adults. Treating behavioral
problems among Latino adolescents. Treating anxiety among Latino
children. Working with Latino couples. Restoring legal competency
with Latinos. The Toolkit for Counseling Spanish-Speaking Clients
fills a glaring need in behavioral service delivery, offering
health psychologists, social workers, clinical psychologists,
neuropsychologists, and other helping professionals
culturally-relevant support for working with this under served
population. The materials included here are an important step
toward dismantling barriers to mental health care.
To effectively serve minority clients, clinicians require a double
understanding: of both evidence-based practice and the cultures
involved. This particularly holds true when working with
Asian-Americans, a diverse and growing population. The Guide to
Psychological Assessment with Asians synthesizes real-world
challenges, empirical findings, clinical knowledge and common-sense
advice to create a comprehensive framework for practice. This
informed resource is geared toward evaluation of first-generation
Asian Americans and recent immigrants across assessment methods
(self-report measures, projective tests), settings (school,
forensic) and classes of disorders (eating, substance, sexual).
While the Guide details cross-cultural considerations for working
with Chinese-, Japanese-, Korean and Indian-American clients, best
practices are also included for assessing members of less populous
groups without underestimating, overstating or stereotyping the
role of ethnicity in the findings. In addition, contributors
discuss diversity of presentation within groups and identify ways
that language may present obstacles to accurate evaluation.Among
the areas covered in this up-to-date reference: * Structured and
semi-structured clinical interviews.* Assessment of acculturation,
enculturation and culture.* IQ testing.* Personality disorders.*
Cognitive decline and dementia.* Mood disorders and suicidality.*
Neuropsychological assessment of children, adolescents and adults.*
Culture-bound syndromes. Designed for practitioners new to working
with Asian clients as well as those familiar with the population,
the Guide to Psychological Assessment with Asians is exceedingly
useful to neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, health
psychologists and clinical social workers.
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.
Adolescence is a pivotal period of development with respect to
health and illness. It is during adolescence that many positive
health behaviors are consolidated and important health risk
behaviors are first evident; thus, adolescence is a logical time
period for primary prevention. In addition, the predominant causes
of morbidity and mortality in adolescence are quite different from
those of adults, indicating that early identification and treatment
of adolescent health problems must be directed to a unique set of
targets in this age group. Moreover, because of the particular
developmental issues that characterize adolescence, intervention
efforts designed for adults are often inappropriate or ineffective
in an adolescent population. Even when chronic illnesses are
congenital or begin in childhood, the manner in which the
transition from childhood to adolescence to young adulthood is
negotiated has important implications for disease outcomes
throughout the remainder of the person's life span. Organized in
five major sections (General Issues, Developmental Issues,
Treatment and Training, Mental Health, and Physical Health) and 44
chapters, Handbook of Adolescent Health Psychology addresses the
common and not so common health issues that tend to affect
adolescents. Coverage includes: Context and perspectives in
adolescent health psychology Health literacy, health maintenance,
and disease prevention in adolescence Physical disorders such as
asthma, obesity, physical injury, and chronic pain Psychological
disorders such as substance abuse, attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder, depression, and eating disorders Congenital chronic
diseases such as type 1 diabetes and spina bifida Handbook of
Adolescent Health Psychology is the definitive reference for
pediatricians, family physicians, health psychologists, clinical
social workers, rehabilitation specialists, and all practitioners
and researchers working with adolescents."
This timely volume examines the potential of integrated care in
providing effective, accessible behavioral healthcare for Latino
clients. The integrated care model is discussed in practical terms,
with guidelines for the addressing the needs of Latinos in a
coordinated, patient-focused setting. Specific points of attention
include common behavioral and medical/mental health conditions
(e.g., depression, chronic pain, tobacco use), special
considerations in working with Puerto Rican and Cuban clients, and
recommendations for working with children. These important issues
are considered against the backdrop of opportunities and challenges
inherent in integrated care and its implementation, in addition to
the relevance of evidence-based interventions for this large and
diverse population. Among the topics covered: Latino trends and
health policy: from walking on eggshells to commitment Integrated
health care for Latino immigrants and refugees: what do they need?
Using a translator in integrated care settings Enhancing and
improving treatment engagement with Hispanic patients Integrated
depression care among Latinos Chronic disease management and
integrated care among Hispanic populations Health psychologists,
social workers, family physicians, and clinical psychologists will
find Enhancing Behavioral Health in Latino Populations an important
resource for their professional development, as well as part of the
ongoing movement toward reduced disparities and more inclusive and
culturally attuned care.
This book focuses on diversity, culture, and ethnicity as they
relate to psychological assessment of Hispanics. It is a how-to
guide for clinicians, researchers, and instructors working with
Hispanic clients. Each chapter contains an overview of cultural
considerations needed for assessing the Hispanic client followed by
a specific exploration of the assessment measures available and the
research that has been conducted on these measures with Hispanic
participants. An exploration of the strengths and limitations of
each assessment measure is included. Considering that ethnocultural
minority individuals who are of Hispanic/Latino origin make up the
largest ethnocultural minority group in the United States,
guidelines for working with this population are a must. Given that
a large subset of this percentage is composed of immigrants many of
whom do not speak English or who have learned English as a second
language, special considerations for effective psychological
assessment are neccessary.This book fills a gap in the scientific
literature by consolidating the research on psychological
assessment with Hispanic samples into one comprehensive volume and
providing simple recommendations for the psychological assessment
of Hispanic clients. An exploration of the general psychological
assessment domains (e.g., personality, intelligence) is included
with references to research on the major assessment measures used
in the field. A more specific exploration of psychodiagnostic
assessment measures follows, including the assessment of mood
disorders, anxiety disorders, sexual dysfunction, psychosis, etc.
Several chapters are dedicated to specialized assessment, including
neuropsychological assessment, forensic assessment, and
school-based assessment, overall creating the most comprehensive,
up-to-date, research-based compendium of psychological assessment
measures for use with Hispanic clients.
The movements toward cultural sensitivity and evidence-based
practice are watershed developments in clinical psychology. As a
population with a long history of substandard treatment from mental
health systems, African Americans have especially benefitted from
these improvements. But as with other racial and ethnic minorities,
finding relevant test measures in most psychological domains
presents clinicians with an ongoing challenge. The Guide to
Psychological Assessment with African Americans aims to close the
evaluation/therapy gap by giving practitioners the tools to choose
appropriate instruments while respecting client individuality.
Expert contributors analyze scarce and far-flung data, identify
strengths and limitations of measures and norms in their use with
African-American clients, and advise on avoiding biases in
interpreting results. The editors advocate for a theory-based
hypothesis-testing approach to assessment when empirical evidence
is lacking, and offer guidelines for decision-making that is
effective as well as ethnically aware. The Guide's findings,
insights, and practical information cover the gamut of test and
diagnostic areas, including: IQ and personality. Generalized
anxiety disorder, panic, and phobias. Neuropsychological
assessment, cognitive decline, and dementia. Mood disorders and
suicidality. Forensic assessment, risk, and recidivism. Measures
specific to children and adolescents. Plus PTSD, substance
disorders, eating pathology, and more. Expertly complementing
cross-cultural treatment texts, the Guide to Psychological
Assessment with African Americans stands out as a trustworthy
resource for treatment planning useful to clinical psychologists,
neuropsychologists, and clinical social workers.
This book addresses the ways in which clinical psychologists ought
to conceptualize and respond to the prejudice and oppression that
their clients experience. Thus, the link between prejudice and
oppression to psychopathology is explored. Basic scientific
information about prejudice is reviewed, and the current status of
the major minority groups is explored. Chapters examine the role of
prejudice and oppression in institutional structures such as the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and
professional organizations. The discussion addresses ways to assess
these phenomena in individual cases and how to intervene in
psychotherapy. The book ventures to evaluate the status of the
profession of psychology with respect to prejudice, stigmatization,
and oppression by critically examining evidence that the profession
has responded adequately to these social problems. These issues are
hard to talk about and are not well talked about in the field. This
book is a push in the right direction.
