As a population with a long history of substandard treatment from mental health systems, African Americans have especially benefitted from these improvements. But as with other racial and ethnic minorities, finding relevant test measures in most psychological domains presents clinicians with an ongoing challenge.   The Guide to Psychological Assessment with African Americans aims to close the evaluation/therapy gap by giving practitioners the tools to choose appropriate instruments while respecting client individuality. Expert contributors analyze scarce and far-flung data, identify strengths and limitations of measures and norms in their use with African-American clients, and advise on avoiding biases in interpreting results. The editors advocate for a theory-based hypothesis-testing approach to assessment when empirical evidence is lacking, and offer guidelines for decision-making that is effective as well as ethnically aware. The Guide's findings, insights, and practical information cover the gamut of test and diagnostic areas, including: IQ and personality. Generalized anxiety disorder, panic, and phobias. Neuropsychological assessment, cognitive decline, and dementia. Mood disorders and suicidality. Forensic assessment, risk, and recidivism. Measures specific to children and adolescents. Plus PTSD, substance disorders, eating pathology, and more.   Expertly complementing cross-cultural treatment texts, the Guide to Psychological Assessment with African Americans stands out as a trustworthy resource for treatment planning useful to clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists, and clinical social workers.  . 606 $aClinical psychology 606 $aSocial service 606 $aNeuropsychology 606 $aCross-cultural psychology 606 $aClinical Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12005 606 $aSocial Work$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X21000 606 $aNeuropsychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12030 606 $aCross Cultural Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20100 615 0$aClinical psychology. 615 0$aSocial service. 615 0$aNeuropsychology. 615 0$aCross-cultural psychology. 615 14$aClinical Psychology. 615 24$aSocial Work. 615 24$aNeuropsychology. 615 24$aCross Cultural Psychology. 676 $a150 676 $a155.8 676 $a361.3 676 $a612.8 702 $aBenuto$b Lorraine T$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLeany$b Brian D$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910304140803321 996 $aGuide to Psychological Assessment with African Americans$92234116 997 $aUNINA
