Description
The psychological assessment of diverse racial and ethnic populations has been a source of controversy for some time. Clinicians and educators have questioned the use of standardized tests and other measures, raising issues regarding whether or how specific instruments discriminate against members of minority communities. This volume addresses topics of relevance including cross-cultural sensitivity and ethics, social and emotional assessment issues, cognitive and educational assessment, and recent trends.
