Researchers and practitioners who work with Asian Americans confront fundamental questions, such as the cultural validity of the diagnostic tools and systems that are available to them, how to measure dynamic constructs like acculturation and identity in ways that meaningfully inform their work, and how to assess the cultural competence of care systems and training programmes. This is a state-of-the-art compendium of the conceptual issues, empirical literature, methodological approaches, and practice guidelines for conducting culturally informed assessments of Asian Americans, and for assessing provider cultural competency within individuals and systems. The volume draws upon the expertise of many of the leading experts in Asian American and multicultural mental health to provide a resource for students and professionals in a wide range of disciplines including clinical psychology, medical anthropology, psychiatry, cross-cultural psychology, multicultural counselling, ethnic minority psychology, sociology, social work, counsellor education, counseling psychology, and more.
