Klappentext

An insightful discussion of how to integrate cultural awareness and humility into your psychological assessments
In Essentials of Culture in Psychological Assessment, distinguished clinician, author, and editor A. Jordan Wright delivers a collection of resources to help psychological assessors be more deliberate and mindful in acknowledging, and sometimes mitigating, the role that culture and cultural experiences play in psychological assessments. The book encourages assessors to consider cultural issues as they relate to clients, including the cultural background that clients bring with them to the assessment and experiences of privilege and oppression that may be impacting them.
The included works explore the roles that power and privilege play in the assessment process and the cultural variables that can affect assessors' interactions with clients, as well as how culture and oppression can be accounted for during the entire lifecycle of a psychological assessment.
The book contains:
Useful tools and strategies for conducting culture-informed and diversity-sensitive psychological assessments
Techniques for understanding data that come from clients' varied backgrounds
Ways to integrate culture into the different parts of a psychological assessment

Perfect for psychology clinicians of all types, Essentials of Culture in Psychological Assessment is a powerful collection of resources that will inform, improve, and change the way you conduct psychological testing and assessment with clients from all cultural backgrounds.
