Description:
The reality of mental health practice today is that the first fifty minutes a clinician has with a client may be the last. That is why this guide is so valuable to mental health professionals, both black and white. The author provides practical guidelines for dealing with the historical, social and cultural context, the special attitudes and problems, and the widespread diversity within the African American community. It also covers the specific approach needed for forming an alliance, establishing rapport, crisis intervention, assessment and evaluation, diagnosis, and formulating a treatment plan. This text shows how to do it all within one session.
