In fact, the APA requires that psychologists be aware of and respect the cultural characteristics of their clients which includes psychologists being aware of any biases and prejudice they may hold. Being aware of cultural characteristics, which include age, gender, ethnicity, race, religion and other cultural factors, is important.  In the United States, minority ethnic groups are growing substantially, with 28% of the U.S. population identifying as races other than white (U.S. Census, 2016). Additionally, approximately 65 million people in America speak a foreign language that is not English, with over 25 million people having\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003elimited English language proficiency. With a diverse pool of clients, helping professionals should be better prepared to work with diverse clients. This handbook offers clinicians a comprehensive resource with which to work with diverse populations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe myriad discussions among the chapters include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEthical guidelines for working with culturally diverse clients\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCultural considerations in psychological assessment and evaluation \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBehavioral health service delivery with culturally diverse clients\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross-cultural factors in the treatment of trauma related disorders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCultural considerations in the assessment and behavioral treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e of substance use disorders \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHandbook of Cultural Factors in Behavioral Health\u003c\/i\u003e expertly offers clinicians a comprehensive set of resources and tools that will assist them working with diverse clients.
