Description of  Evidence-Based Psychological Practice With Ethnic Minorities: Culturally Informed Research and Clinical Strategies (Cultural, Racial, and Ethnic Psychology Series)

1433820897 pdf An essential component of evidence-based psychological practice (EBPP) is attending to the ethnocultural heritage of the client. However, relatively little research has been conducted on culturally- informed EBPP with ethnic minorities, especially research that satisfies rigorous methodological criteria. In this book, experts examine the reasons for this and suggest tangible strategies for conducting more impactful studies to promote culturally competent treatment. The chapters address critical research issues such as measurement and design/methodology, and inspiring examples show how EBPP can be tailored to meet the specific needs of ethnic minorities. This volume is an important step in reducing disparities and promoting effective mental health treatment for underserved populations.
