Publisher's Synopsis
Multicultural Consultation: Guidelines for Professionals Servicing Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Populations is a single comprehensive volume that provides clinical child and school psychology students and professionals with a review of popular consultation models and the newly recommended multicultural framework for consultation models, all with a clear focus on applied culturally focused interventions.
Part I examines the principles of consultation, with chapters that cover mental health, behavioral, instructional, conjoint behavioral, and collaborative school consultation models. Additional chapters explore multicultural consultation for school counselors, present readers with a framework for multicultural consultation practice, discuss cultural concerns as they apply to consultant resistance, and speak to multicultural organization consultation in schools.
The chapters in Part II present readers with culturally appropriate instructive interventions, guidelines from the problem identification through the intervention implementation stages of consultation, and guidelines for addressing behavioral and emotional problems in schools. Closing chapters provide guidelines for conjoint behavioral consultation and culturally sensitive guidelines for mental health consultation.
Multicultural Consultation is an exemplary, research-based textbook for clinical child and school psychologists in training and in practice, as well as school counselors, social workers, and special educators.
