The United States will no longer have a Caucasian majority in the second half of the 21st century. Evidence shows that misdiagnosis of mental disorders occurs more frequently in minority populations. Thus, the domestic and international utility of DSM-IV and its companions will depend on their suitability for use with various cultures. A key feature of this volume is the collaboration of cultural experts, members of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH ) Culture and Diagnosis Group, nosologists, and members of the DSM-IV Task Force and Work Groups. The NIMH and the American Psychiatric Association held a conference on Culture and Psychiatric Diagnosis to prepare for DSM-IV. "Culture and Psychiatric Diagnosis" developed from that meeting to enhance the cultural validity of DSM-IV. If clinicians are to become culturally sensitive, they must understand the criteria that define a disorder and consider the cultural context of the person being examined. They can then ascertain whether the criteria are applicable in the present cultural context of the patient. "Culture and Psychiatric Diagnosis" will benefit all clinicians treating minority patients because it documents and clarifies how cultural factors influence psychopathology; the manifestations, assessment, and course of mental disorders, and the response to treatment.

Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. Book Former's owner's name on front pastedown endpaper. Pencil scoring, can be erased. Priced with that in mind. "By the mid-21st century, the United States will no longer have a Caucasian majority. This fact, coupled with the evidence showing that misdiagnosis occurs more frequently in minority populations, indicates that the future domestic and international utility of DSM-IV and its companions will depend on their suitability for use with various cultures. "Culture and Psychiatric Diagnosis: A DSM-IV Perspective" was developed from the National Institute of Mental Health and American Psychiatric Association's conference on culture and psychiatric diagnosis, which was organised to enhance the cultural validity of DSM-IV. It represents the innovative collaboration of cultural experts, members of the NIMH Culture and Diagnosis Group, nosologists and members of the DSM-IV Task Force and Work Groups. "Culture and Psychiatric Diagnosis: A DSM-IV Perspective" should benefit all clinicians who treat diverse patients because it documents and clarifies how cultural factors influence psychopathology; the emergence, manifestations, assessment and course of mental disorders; and response to treatment."
