Reviews

I recommend this book for publication. This is because I believe that it will be an interesting addition to the growing field of multicultural psychology, and if it actually has suggestions for therapeutic interventions, I think that it will be very popular for intervention courses. There are many books on theoretical issues, but many people have shied away from giving specific therapeutic suggestions. Part of the reason for this is that many people are waiting for empirically supported interventions, but empirical support for any kind of intervention-particularly those that are culturally specific-remain elusive. Therefore, people are left with the feeling that multicultural psychology is important, but how will this perspective lead to therapists conducting therapy in a different manner? - Jeffery Scott Mio, PhD, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona
