Chapters provide useful theoretical constructs, suggest concrete ways to interpret assessments, and outline effective treatment approaches. Illustrated with numerous clinical vignettes, the book clearly describes how to elicit relevant history from the child, caretakers, family, and school officials; utilize diagnostic criteria in a culturally appropriate way; and intervene - using innovative treatment strategies. Throughout, long-standing misconceptions and myths are exposed, as readers acquire the skills needed to recognize and reinforce the strengths that often exist amid what can look like insurmountable problems. Comprehensively addressing the wide range of issues one encounters in the treatment of minority children, this book is a valuable resource for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and psychiatric nurses
