It combines a cultural perspective on the needs of the population with best-practice approaches to interventions. Chapters provide expert insights into sociocultural factors that influence mental health, the prevalence of particular disorders among African American adolescents, ethnically salient assessment and diagnostic methods, and the evidence base for specific models. The information presented in this handbook helps bring the field closer to critical goals: increasing access to treatment, preventing misdiagnosis and over hospitalization, and reducing and ending disparities in research and care.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTopics featured in this book include:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe epidemiology of mental disorders in African American youth. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCulturally relevant diagnosis and assessment of mental illness.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses of dialectical behavioral therapy and interpersonal therapy.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommunity approaches to promoting positive mental health and psychosocial well-being. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCulturally relevant psychopharmacology.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuture directions for the field.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Mental Health in African American Youth\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-have resource for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as clinicians and related professionals in child and school psychology, public health, family studies, child and adolescent psychiatry, family medicine, and social work.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlfiee M.
