Appendix: Cultural Assessment
Monica McGoldrick, LCSW, PhD (h.c.), Director of the
Multicultural Family Institute in Highland Park, New Jersey, is
also Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at the University
of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey–Robert Wood Johnson Medical
School. She was Visiting Professor at Fordham University School of
Social Service for 12 years. Ms. McGoldrick received her MSW in
1969 from Smith College School for Social Work, which later granted
her one of the few honorary doctorates awarded by the school in its
60-year history. Other awards include the American Family Therapy
Academy's award for Distinguished Contribution to Family Therapy
Theory and Practice. An internationally known author, she speaks
widely on culture, class, gender, the family life cycle, and other
topics.
Joe Giordano, MSW, is a family therapist in private practice in
Bronxville, New York. He was formerly Director of the American
Jewish Committee's Center on Ethnicity, Behavior, and
Communications, where he conducted pioneering studies on the
psychological nature of ethnic identity and group behavior. The
author of widely published articles on ethnicity, family, and the
media, he served as host of Proud to Be Me, a PBS television
program, and as producer of the audio series Growing Up in
America.
Nydia Garcia Preto, LCSW, is cofounder and Clinical Director of the
Multicultural Family Institute. She has served as Visiting
Professor at the Rutgers Graduate School of Social Work and as
Director of the Adolescent Day Hospital at the University of
Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. A noted family therapist,
author, teacher, and lecturer, Ms. Garcia Preto has published and
presented widely on Puerto Rican and Latino families, Latinas,
ethnic intermarriage, and families with adolescents. She is a
highly respected trainer in the areas of cultural competence and
organizational team building.
The representation of additional ethnic groups is an important
contribution of this compelling new edition. A clear reminder that
cultural diversity is a fact of life, this book gives family
therapists and other helping professionals a greater understanding
of the histories, values, and expectations of the diverse families
and individuals we encounter. Important themes resonate throughout,
including the ways that religious and spiritual beliefs, historical
circumstances, immigration histories, and experiences of racism and
prejudice influence contemporary families' strengths and struggles.
Every chapter is moving, unique, and highly useful.--Patricia
Arredondo, EdD, Counseling/Counseling Psychology Program, Arizona
State University; President (2005-2006), American Counseling
Association
Now in its third edition, Ethnicity and Family Therapy remains one
of the essential textbooks for developing cultural competence in
clinical practice. Unlike any other single book in the field, its
54 chapters provide the most comprehensive description of
culture-related family issues relevant to mental health and health
care. At the same time, this book wisely teaches us that our
understanding of these cultural patterns must incorporate not only
ethnicity, but also gender, socioeconomic status, geography,
religion, race, and politics, among other factors. A 'must-have'
tour de force for seasoned professionals and trainees
alike.--Francis G. Lu, MD, Department of Psychiatry, University of
California, San Francisco, and San Francisco General Hospital
Ethnicity is part of the lived experience of each of us every day,
whether in the foods we like, our ways of expressing affection,
religious and political views, gender roles, taboos and
expectations, and so much more. This book expands our understanding
of the complexity of the cultural fabric of our families: what
distinguishes us and what unites us. As we travel through a
multiplicity of national, cultural, racial, and religious
backgrounds, what is most remarkable is that across all of these
diverse experiences and conditions, families are important to us
all. This book allows us to celebrate our differences while
encouraging us to conduct our clinical work with respect toward and
knowledge of each family's ethnic and cultural uniqueness.--José
Szapocznik, PhD, Center for Family Studies, Department of
Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of MiamiI have used
Ethnicity and Family Therapy as a text for 12+ years in my
master’s-level Cross-Cultural Counseling course. I have been
impressed with the various editions of the text as a compendium of
information regarding a broad cross-section of the human family. I
have particularly enjoyed the increasing expansion of coverage,
both within broad ethnic groups and across groups. This breadth
deepens my students’ comprehension of the richness of human
diversity and mitigates their tendencies to view members of
different groups through monolithic lenses. This text has been
invaluable in my approach to teaching about the nexus of person,
problems, and treatment approaches.--Daryl M. Rowe, PhD, Graduate
School of Education and Psychology, Pepperdine University
- The editors and contributors have made substantial changes in the
content of the third edition, as evidenced by the expanded
'Overview' chapter that sets the tone of why ethnicity is so
important for our work as family therapists....The editors have
added 13 new chapters, with the bulk of these chapters focusing on
Latino and Asian ethnicities. This is a welcome change, considering
that the changing racial and ethnic demographics of the USA are
primarily related to increased immigration from Latino, Asian, and
Pacific Islander populations....Another welcome addition is the
appendix on cultural assessment....Has the potential to influence
all the different spheres of what it means to be a family
therapist. It should be part of every family therapist's library.
--Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, 8/20/2005ƒƒ Scholars,
students, and everyone interested in diverse family patterns will
welcome this engrossing, highly informative third edition of
Ethnicity and Family Therapy. Major strengths of this book are the
range of groups considered, a highly readable writing style,
consistency of format throughout the chapters, extensive
documentation, and the relevance of context covered to typical
clinical situations....A treasured resource that can serve to help
explain behavior patterns that are seemingly idiosyncratic yet that
may be rooted in history and culture....As a textbook, Ethnicity
and Family Therapy is especially relevant to courses in cultural
and ethnic diversity and could serve as a supplement to family
therapy courses. --Research on Social Work Practice, 8/20/2005ƒƒ An
important resource....It is an authoritative and comprehensive
reference that should be read by anyone who seeks cultural
competence in providing therapy to families in the culturally
diverse society of the contemporary United States. --The Family
Psychologist, 8/20/2005ƒƒThis well-edited and comprehensive volume
should prove to be of great value to psychotherapists of all
orientations....Most specific chapters begin with historical
accounts and cultural overviews. These informative materials will
help any psychotherapist appreciate the factors affecting
individual patients and families as they strive to accept and
adjust to American societal expectations....Clinicians would be
wise to keep a copy of this volume available for consultation to
enhance their ability to provide culturally competent assessment
and treatment.(on previous edition)--American Journal of
Psychiatry, 8/20/2005
