This book provides a comprehensive review of the complex, growing
mental health challenges faced by culturally diverse populations of
children and adolescents.Suicide Among Diverse Youth: A Case-Based
Guidebook is the first book of its kind, and is designed specifically
to bridge the knowledge and skills gap encountered by most clinicians
dealing with youth from diverse cultural backgrounds, particularly
those different than that of the clinician. The title begins with two
introductory chapters, which cover cultural aspects of suicidality
among youth, culturally informed treatment of suicidality with diverse
youth, and examples of preventative approaches. These are followed by
population specific chapters which cover a broad spectrum of diverse
populations, including underserved ethnic and racial populations in
the United States, LGBTQ youth, as well as various immigrant
populations from Eastern European and Middle Eastern countries. These
case-based chapters are structured in a cohesive, easy-to-read format
that promotes ease of reference, beginning with a clinical case
report, review of literature, unique characteristics and risk factors
associated with suicidality, and evidence-based practice provided by
the authors from their considerable experience. The authors are often
from the same ethnic, racial, or cultural group that they discuss in
their writings; providing experiential knowledge where scientific
knowledge is lacking. Suicide Among Diverse Youth: A Case-Based
Guidebook is a unique resource that offers the clinical material
needed to treat diverse adolescent patients with sensitive,
intersectional, and culturally-informed care, and will provide an
indispensable resource for medical professionals working with, and
caring for these patients.
