SynopsisTrauma, Violence, and Abuse with Ethnic Populations introduces trauma-focused mental health approaches that can be used with diverse ethnic populations. The book features contemporary theoretical perspectives and evidence-based methods that not only offer a paradigm for culturally and ecologically appropriate interventions but also take into consideration the diverse needs of individuals affected by traumatic experiences. The text is grounded in empirically supported trauma treatment techniques and adapted to the complexities of actual practice. Opening chapters provide foundational skills and knowledge about conducting culturally informed trauma interventions with ethnic minority clients. Later chapters focus on specific populations and effective multicultural approaches and trauma interventions for each. Throughout, case studies and real-life scenarios are presented to contextualize the materials and bridge the gap between theory and practice. The text closes with a chapter addressing vicarious traumatization, compassion fatigue, and the importance of self-care. Trauma, Violence, and Abuse with Ethnic Populations is part of the Cognella Series on Advances in Culture, Race, and Ethnicity. The series, endorsed by Division 45 of the American Psychological Association, addresses critical and emerging issues within culture, race, and ethnic studies, as well as specific topics among key ethnocultural groups.
