Summary:

The Clinical Manual of Cultural Psychiatry is indispensable for mental health care educators, students, residents, and practitioners in our diverse and ever smaller world. This groundbreaking work provides important information on African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos/Hispanics, and Native Americans and Alaska Natives based on years of experience with the DSM-IV-TR Outline for Cultural Formulation. It is essential reading for clinicians who must now meet accreditation standards involving cultural competence, and it also points the way to much-needed future research.
