Twenty-six academics and practitioners--all but one from the U.S.--contribute 12 chapters providing clinicians and counselors with practitioner-oriented suggestions, guidelines, and examples illustrating the use of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with people of diverse cultural identities. Following an introductory overview, individual chapters address the use of CBT with specific ethnic minority cultures--American Indians, Alaska Natives, Latinos and Latinas, African Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Orthodox Jews; using CBT with people of additional minority cultures, including older adults, people with disabilities, and sexual minorities; and assessment, supervision, and training issues.
