Multicultural Assessment: Principles, Applications and Examples

Multicultural Assessment: Principles, Applications and Examples, 9780805852004 (080585200X), Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2005

If you are reading this preface, you are probably currently taking a graduate
assessment course, or have completed assessment training, or practice
as a professional psychologist. You may wonder why these courses contain
little that is relevant for assessment practice with all those persons
who are not included in normative data and represent many multicultural
populations resident in the United States as well as refugees, students,
and other sojourners from many, many foreign countries. This book tries
to answer your question.

Multicultural assessment distinguishes between what clinicians now
understand about standard instruments and familiar populations and
what remains to be known from research and experience that is relevant
for high-stakes assessment practice with unfamiliar populations. This book
attempts to uncover and articulate what we neither know nor practice
with assurance at this time. Current assessment training assumes that our
instruments and our service delivery processes are universal and people
are more similar than different. This book emphasizes how differences can
be examined using standard instruments.
