At the intersection of diverse disciplines and domains, contributors argue for greater clarity in understanding the cultural competence construct, a deeper level of analysis as to its multifaceted components, and call for concrete practical objectives and science-based means of measurement. Serious, nuanced discussion addresses challenges, strengths, and limitations of current cultural competence practice  in terms of sociocultural concepts (e.g., race, ethnicity) and practical concepts (e.g., sensitivity in the therapeutic relationship, treatment efficacy). In addition, contributors identify future directions for research, training, and practice with the potential to spur the further evolution of this clinically important construct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis timely book:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  Critiques the cultural competence construct and its evaluation as it is currently disseminated within applied psychology.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  Compares and contrasts how cultural competence is defined within clinical, school, and counseling psychology.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  Analyzes difficulties and challenges in understanding the cultural competence construct as evaluated through the lens of closely related fields                    outside of  applied psychology.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  Spotlights complexities in cultural competence issues pertaining to specific populations.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  Sets out implications for education and training, offering a detailed outline for an ideal college course in cultural competence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith this level of reasoning and rigor, \u003ci\u003eCultural Competence in Applied Psychology  \u003c\/i\u003eis sure to stimulate long-overdue dialogue and debate among professionals across a wide variety of fields, such as clinical psychology, social work, child and socialpsychology, psychotherapy, school psychology, and counseling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-08-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319789958\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-78997-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 731\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46029577486476,"sku":"9783319789958","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319789958.jpg?v=1776023025","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319789958","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
