For the first time in one source, psychologists, social workers and others will find assessment issues related in a systematic way to the cultural experiences and world view of four major cultural/minority groups: African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans. Using the same frame of reference for each group, the author provides detailed descriptions of the world view shared by members of the group; their language, sense of identity, values, and beliefs; and their perceptions about psychological disturbances, mental health services, and acceptable styles of service delivery.
