| Publisher Description: In an increasingly diverse society, multicultural competency is a vital goal for mental health care providers. Professionals in the health/mental health field have considered, recommended, attempted, or partially achieved implementation, but without a comprehensive professional training model, integrating multicultural competency as an objective remains elusive. Multicultural competency training has been focused primarily on psychotherapy treatment/intervention, initially within Counseling Psychology. Comprehensive assessment within competency training has still received minimal attention, even though assessment continues to be essential for adequate mental health services to multicultural populations. In addition, assessment functions coextensively with treatment or as a legitimate intervention. This book has a focus that is interprofessional, interdisciplinary, and international. It will include sections on requirements for professional training; examples of training programs in school psychology, counseling psychology, and clinical psychology; and practice issues. |
