Children of Color: Psychological Interventions with Minority Youth

Front Cover
Jossey-Bass Publishers, 1989 - Medical - 423 pages
Abstract: This book presents comprehensive guidelines to the psychological assessment and treatment of minority children and adolescents. The authors offer intervention strategies sensitive to the cultural expectations, linguistic differences, and family structures of young people from specific minority groups. Case studies are used to show how diverse helping professionals (psychologists, social workers, therapists, counselors, and educators) can identify and solve the psychological and behavioral problems of minority youth. Traditional and innovative techniques for helping minority children resolve personal difficulties and cope with the effects of broader social and economic issues (discrimination, immigration, and poverty) are discussed.
