Book Synopsis Diversity Counts by : Gina L. Freconna
Download or read book Diversity Counts written by Gina L. Freconna and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the number of culturally and ethnically diverse children increases in the United States each year, the need for treatment of serious mental illness in diverse children also increases. To be useful, treatment for diverse children should be sensitive to the cultural contextual needs of each child. With this in mind, this study examines how the field of psychology defines and uses interventions that are multiculturally appropriate to treat serious childhood mental illnesses. To reach this ambitious goal, this study specifically examines the childhood anxiety disorder, the most prevalent and debilitating class of childhood mental illness. A commonly used and well supported treatment manual for childhood anxiety called the Coping Cat receives particular attention. First, a comprehensive literature review is conducted on anxiety disorders in children. Second, the significance, yet historical neglect of the study of anxiety in diverse populations of children is examined. Third, a discussion of a multicultural therapeutic approach to mental health treatment occurs. Following this, an in-depth description and empirical support of the Coping Cat protocol is provided. Fifth, a critical study of how the Coping Cat is appropriate to treat children of diverse cultures and ethnicities based on the guidelines and literature available is offered. The critical study demonstrates the protocol's sound use and inclusion of multicultural theory and therapeutic practices. The study also provides recommendations that would continue to add to the strength of the Coping Cat in making it a multiculturally appropriate treatment protocol. Finally, a discussion follows in which an evaluation of the Coping Cat protocol can be implemented for future research endeavors.

Using foundational ideas in the field of diversity, equity, and inclusion as well as concepts in the social sciences, this book provides a set of cognitive tools for dealing with situations related to workplace diversity and applies both classic theories and new ideas to topics such as United States employment law, teamwork, gender, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, and other areas. Each chapter includes engaging scenarios and real-world applications to stimulate learning and help students conceptualize and contextualize diversity in the workplace. Intended for upper-level undergraduates as well as graduate students, this textbook brings together foundational theories with research-based and practical, real-world applications to build a strong understanding of managing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. This text also has its own companion website, which has been designed to give students and instructors a comprehensive look into Workplace Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, offering case studies, practical applications, tests, and essay questions.
Book Synopsis Coping with Cultural and Racial Diversity in Urban America by : Wallace Lambert
Download or read book Coping with Cultural and Racial Diversity in Urban America written by Wallace Lambert and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1990-02-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors state at the beginning of this provocative new book that one of the most distinctive features of the American persona is a preoccupation and underlying concern in the United States with what is or is not `American.' How far can an ethnic group in the United States go to maintain its identity before it trespasses into what is perceived as un-American terrain? This is the underlying theme of Lambert and Taylor's community based investigation which studies the attitudes of Americans toward ethnic diversity and intergroup relations. Directed toward social psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, and ethnic scholars, this study deals with the peculiar U.S. dichotomy of cultural diversity and assimilation. The research is conducted in a metropolitan area among working class adults; some are established mainstream citizens, others are newcomers, but all experience ethnic and racial diversity as a daily fact of life. The authors examine the perspectives of mainstream White Americans and Black Americans. They interview ethnic immigrant groups--Polish, Arab, Albanian, Mexican, and Puerto Rican Americans--in two urban settings and offer insight to the reality as well as the exciting possibilities of multiculturalism. Students and scholars of all the social sciences will find Coping with Cultural and Racial Diversity in Urban America as a source of stimulating ideas.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Diversity Issues in Health Psychology by : Pamela M. Kato
Download or read book Handbook of Diversity Issues in Health Psychology written by Pamela M. Kato and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-07-27 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of health psychology has grown dramatically in the last decade, with exciting new developments in the study of how psychological and psychosocial processes contribute to risk for and disease sequelae for a variety of medical problems. In addition, the quality and effectiveness of many of our treatments, and health promotion and disease prevention efforts, have been significantly enhanced by the contributions of health psychologists (Taylor, 1995). Unfortunately, however, much of the theo rizing in health psychology and the empirical research that derives from it continue to reflect the mainstream bias of psychology and medicine, both of which have a primary focus on white, heterosexual, middle-class American men. This bias pervades our thinking despite the demographic heterogeneity of American society (U. S. Bureau of the Census, 1992) and the substantial body of epidemiologic evidence that indicates significant group differences in health status, burden of morbidity and mortality, life expectancy, quality of life, and the risk and protective factors that con tribute to these differences in health outcomes (National Center for Health Statistics, 1994; Myers, Kagawa-Singer, Kumanyika, Lex, & M- kides, 1995). There is also substantial evidence that many of the health promotion and disease prevention efforts that have proven effective with more affluent, educated whites, on whom they were developed, may not yield comparable results when used with populations that differ by eth nicity, social class, gender, or sexual orientation (Cochran & Mays, 1991; Castro, Coe, Gutierres, & Saenz, this volume; Chesney & Nealey, this volume).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We started this diversity textbook project in 1993. Although much has changed and improved in terms of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging in U.S. organizations, the thirty year journey is far from over. While overt discrimination has become less acceptable and there is more awareness of the impact of our multiple social identities, stereotypes, prejudice, harassment, and discrimination are still serious workplace issues. There is more realization now that organizations must change the way they manage their employees to maximize the advantages that diversity can bring to the workplace in a challenging global economy if they are to benefit from the richness of a diverse and productive workforce"--
