Book Synopsis Multicultural Assessment by : Richard H. Dana
Download or read book Multicultural Assessment written by Richard H. Dana and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-03-23 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychologists throughout the world are being asked to assess an increasingly diverse clientele: immigrants, refugees, second and third generations still influenced by different cultures and languages, and indigenous peoples now moving towards the mainstream. Most are ill-equipped by training and experience to understand, assess, and subsequently treat such clients competently and ethically. Virtually all agree on the need for culture-sensitive assessment, but it has proven difficult to provide adequate services, despite good intentions and funding. Too often, clients who may have different worldview and health-illness beliefs are marginalized. For many reasons, standard assessment instruments designed, researched, and normed on a few groups in the United States--the MMPI-2, the Rorschach, and the TAT--are used as though they were universally applicable. Most busy practitioners have little time to investigate alternatives developed for use with one new group or another, focused on one issue or another, generally in a research context. In this book, Richard Dana proposes a new model of multicultural assessment practice and points directions for future training and research. He presents general, culture-specific, and step-by-step instrument-specific guidelines for the use of the standard armamentarium with different groups. Throughout, he highlights exciting new interpretive possibilities the traditional tests offer that should be regularly exploited, but emphasizes the importance of recognizing psychometric limits. Four extended examples of the use of one or several instruments with a specific group offer concrete illustrations of the model in action. Multicultural Assessment: Principles, Applications, and Examples constitutes an invaluable new resource for psychologists and for their students and trainees.

Book Synopsis Personality Assessment in America by : Edwin I. Megargee
Download or read book Personality Assessment in America written by Edwin I. Megargee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-07 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereas most psychology books discuss current or future trends, this one focuses on the past. It consists of a collection of important and historically significant writings by a select group of men and women who, over the past 50 years, were honored by their colleagues for their distinguished contributions to the field of personality assessment. Published from 1939 through 1989, most of the papers were SPA Presidential addresses or presentations by the recipients of the Society's Distinguished Contributions Award. Taken as a whole, they provide a unique perspective on the evolution of personality assessment in America from the perspective of those who have made important contributions to that history. The writings are not merely of historical interest, but intrinsically important scientific contributions, some of which were in danger of being lost or forgotten. The editors feel it is important to preserve and pass on this valuable legacy for the education and edification of later generations. It is not only its historical perspective that makes this book unique. This book provides first-hand discussions of crucial issues in personality assessment written by the gifted men and women who were actually grappling with these problems at the time, without knowing what the outcomes would be. Readers will find that these papers provide insights not only into the conflicts and controversies, but also into the ideas, attitudes, and emotions of the men and women who took part in them.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Cross-Cultural and Multicultural Personality Assessment by : Richard H. Dana
Download or read book Handbook of Cross-Cultural and Multicultural Personality Assessment written by Richard H. Dana and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2000-02 with total page 738 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the world as in the United States, psychologists are increasingly being called upon to evaluate clients whose backgrounds differ from their own. It has long been recognized that standard personality and psychopathology assessment instruments carry cultural biases, and in recent years, efforts to correct these biases have accelerated. The Handbook of Cross-Cultural and Multicultural Personality Assessment brings together researchers and practitioners from 12 countries with diverse ethnic and racial identities and training to present state-of-the-art knowledge about how best to minimize cultural biases in the assessment of personality and psychopathology. They consider research methodology, the design and construction of standard objective and projective tests, the use of measures of acculturation, racial identity, and culture-specific tests, the social etiquette of service delivery, and the interpretation of test data for clinical diagnosis. Ranging widely through all the relevant issues, they share a common collective vision of how culturally competent services should be delivered to clients. The Handbook offers the first comprehensive view of a consistent approach to cultural competence in assessment--a necessary precursor of effective intervention. It will become an indispensable reference for all those whose practice or research involves individuals with different ethnic and racial identities.

It provides coverage of eight of the most popular assessment instruments used in the United States—from authors key in creating, or developing the research base for these test instruments.

Book Synopsis Individualizing Psychological Assessment by : Constance T. Fischer
Download or read book Individualizing Psychological Assessment written by Constance T. Fischer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assessments by psychologists, educators, and other human-service professionals too often end with the client being reported in terms of scores, bell-shaped curves, traits, psychodynamic forces, or diagnostic labels. Individualizing Psychological Assessment uses these classification devices in ways that facilitate returning from them to the individual's life, both during the assessment session and in written reports. The book presents an approach and procedures through which a person's actual life becomes the subject matter of assessment. Thoroughly revised from the previous edition, the book presents a wide range of concrete examples and illustrative cases that will serve both students and practicing professionals alike in individualizing assessments.
Book Synopsis TEMAS (Tell-Me-A-Story) Assessment in Multicultural Societies by : Giuseppe Costantino
Download or read book TEMAS (Tell-Me-A-Story) Assessment in Multicultural Societies written by Giuseppe Costantino and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-26 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnic minority children now comprise over 75 percent of students in 100 of the largest cities in the United States. However, these students have not been given equal access to, nor benefited from, the contemporary mental health system as have their non-minority peers. TEMAS (Tell-Me-A-Story) Assessment in Multicultural Societies examines the health/mental care system in which professional service providers, including psychologists, labor to offer quality care for youth in the United States. The authors ardently support the use of the TEMAS assessment instrument as a useful tool for diagnosis of all youngsters, particularly its use on the growing population of minority children and adolescents. Part I presents a rationale and context for employing TEMAS. Introductory chapters describe the mental health status of the population at-risk, as well as systems of care for youth where assessment and intervention are components. Topics to follow highlight a history of positive TEMAS test reviews with the detail required by instructors for preparing dedicated TEMAS courses. The volume thoroughly outlines cross-cultural studies and illustrates case examples of European-American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian-American, and forensic studies. TEMAS (Tell-Me-A-Story) Assessment in Multicultural Societies brings practical insight to instructors who teach standard assessment courses; clinicians, counselors, and school psychologists; assessment specialists; and administrators concerned with mental health services designed for children and adolescents.
Book Synopsis Cultural Competence In Assessment And Intervention With Ethnic Minorities: Some Perspectives From Psychology, Social Work and Education by : Robert G. Malgady
Download or read book Cultural Competence In Assessment And Intervention With Ethnic Minorities: Some Perspectives From Psychology, Social Work and Education written by Robert G. Malgady and published by Bentham Science Publishers. This book was released on 2011 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without a thorough understanding of culture and its nuances on part of the mental health service providers, alienation, stigma, and culturally based impediments rule. While concerns for diversity have been raised on numerous occasions, with increasing frequency over the past four decades, little progress has been made in implementing such concerns in clinical practice. Over two-thirds of Americans receive treatment for depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and related disorders. Comorbidity is rarely diagnosed. These trends are greatly exacerbated among members of ethnic, cultural, and linguistic minority groups. the authors contributing to this volume share their clinical acumen and experiences, rooted in their evidence-based research. Their purpose is to bring issues attending assessment and treatment of ethnic minority clientele closer to the fore. Some of the leading authors on the topic, in psychology and social work, present their well earned clinical and research experiences in this volume. Case studies are presented which are instructive and intriguing, bringing together the richness of a multidisciplinary approach to the topic.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Multicultural Mental Health by : Richard H. Dana
Download or read book Handbook of Multicultural Mental Health written by Richard H. Dana and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence-based bias reduction in low-inference and high-inference personality assessment instruments is now consensually recognized. Bias in standard psychological tests such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2), Rorschach (RCS), and Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) has been dramatically reduced. MMPI-2 deficiencies in items, norms, flawed psychometric properties, and construct meanings have been minimized in a restructured MMPI-2-RF. The Rorschach Comprehensive System (RCS) recently incorporated revised diagnostic constructs and a theoretical model of affect contributing to therapeutic feedback. In addition, the new Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS) is an evidence-based internationally focused and culturally relevant system using externally accessed behavioral criteria. The TAT now has a reference compendium of objective scores representing a number of systems for both high-inference and low-inference interpretation of this test. The Tell-Me-A-Story test (TEMAS) provides scores and interpretations for cross-cultural and multicultural groups.
Book Synopsis In Our Clients' Shoes by : Stephen E. Finn
Download or read book In Our Clients' Shoes written by Stephen E. Finn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Our Clients’ Shoes conveniently assembles a number of important papers on the Therapeutic Assessment approach in one resource, explicating its history, theory, techniques, as well as its impact on clients and assessors. Author Stephen E. Finn incorporates pieces presented at various conferences over the past 13 years, in addition to previously unpublished work, with the intent to allow psychologists greater insight into their clients’ perspectives. Arranged in three sections, the first set of papers describes the history and development of Therapeutic Assessment, including personal experiences of the author, which ultimately led him to focus on psychological assessment as a potential therapeutic intervention. The second section follows with a variety of essays to illustrate particular techniques of collaborative and Therapeutic Assessment. In this section, readers gain an understanding of how to integrate test findings, engage clients in discussing their experiences of a test, conduct assessment intervention sessions, and teach Therapeutic Assessment to graduate students. Finn concludes by drawing a link between Therapeutic Assessment and two major schools of psychotherapy: intersubjectivity theory and control-mastery theory. He also discusses how assessors grow and change as a result of practicing psychological assessment, and addresses practical matters such as when to apply the approach, how to bill for Therapeutic Assessment sessions, how to market Therapeutic Assessment, and where to find professional support for this kind of work. In Our Clients’ Shoes is appropriate for all clinicians who wish to further impact the lives of their clients and enhance their own wisdom, compassion, and personal and professional development.
