APA Handbook of Multicultural Psychology Volume 1: Theory and Research Volume 2: Applications and Training

Part of the landmark APA Handbooks in Psychology(R) Series from the American Psychological Association

Consistent with the goals for the APA Handbooks in Psychology(TM) series, the purpose of the two-volume APA Handbook of Multicultural Psychology is to present the best science and best practice within this cross-cutting perspective of psychology.

Volume 1, covering theory and research, comprises chapters concerning conceptual and professional issues, ethnic minority research and methods, individual differences, social and developmental process, and community and organizational perspectives.

Volume 2, focusing on applications and training, includes chapters covering historical and professional perspectives; stress, adjustment, and positive psychology; diagnosis and assessment; psychopathology; clinical interventions; applied and preventive psychology; and training and supervision.

Beyond providing a solid historical context, the handbook offers an up-to-date review across the major domains of psychology from a multicultural perspective.
