Resource Type

Book

Description

"Is the Asian child you're assessing suffering from introversion and lack of self-confidence, or is her quiet demeanor simply a reflection of strongly held cultural values?piety, modesty, and respect for authority? Is your young Puerto Rican patient ADD, or are his aggressiveness and lack of attention a response to the chaotic, unsupervised, dangerous atmosphere at his school? How are mental and emotional disorders expressed among children from different cultural backgrounds, and how can they best be treated? In Transcultural Child Development, the nation's leading practitioners of transcultural child psychology address these and many other questions that surround this broad and under-researched field."--Jossey-Bass
