Sommario/riassunto

Representing the clinical state of the art in culturally competent assessment and treatment, and providing important information on African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos/Hispanics, and Native Americans and Alaska Natives, this book synthesizes the collected wisdom from the editor's 10 years of teaching cultural psychiatry as a CME course with the professional experience of seven other contributors in using and teaching about DSM-IV-TR's Outline for Cultural Formulation.
