Meeting a crucial need for social workers and other practitioners, as well as students, this authoritative text covers the breadth of issues involved in working with immigrant and refugee children and families. Within an innovative conceptual framework, essential knowledge is presented to guide culturally competent practice with clients from over 14 immigrant groups whose numbers are growing in the United States today. Expert authors review the history of each group's migration to the U.S. and discuss key issues facing families, including cultural conflicts, trauma associated with refugee experiences and/or illegal status, and the effects of poverty and discrimination. Particular attention is given to ways that the practitioner can help families draw on culturally based resources for coping and resilience as they navigate the challenges of their new lives. Throughout, recommendations for strengths-based assessment and intervention are brought to life in detailed case examples.

Zielgruppe

Clinical social workers; other mental health and human service professionals; students and professors in social work, human services, counseling psychology, and ethnic minority mental health. Will serve as a text in undergraduate- and graduate-level courses in Practice with Children and Families, Human Behavior in the Social Environment (HBSE), and Cultural Diversity. May also be used in university-based couple and family therapy programs.
