O knihe

Focusing on critical emerging issues in regard to multicultural families, the fourth edition of this popular
book reflects fundamental issues surrounding assessment and treatment of families from diverse cultural
backgrounds. The most effective treatment methods for working with culturally diverse families across the
life cycle are covered in detail. Individual chapters focus on a variety of distinct ethnic groups including
African American, Hispanic, Asian American, Native American, and Arab American, as well as the needs of
LGBTQ multicultural families and the role of spirituality.
The text underlines the importance of an intersectional approach to working with families that, in addition
to culture and ethnicity, also considers socioeconomic class, gender, age, religion, immigration status, and
sexual orientation as important factors. Additionally, the text expands its direct-practice view with the
addition of four new chapters written by psychologists, plus a new chapter on health issues in multicultural
families and access to health services. The text is updated with the latest knowledge and research, along with
new and revised case vignettes demonstrating culturally competent practice.
