Book Review: Psychological assessment of culturally and linguistically diverse children and adolescents

There is an increasing proportion of immigrants and refugees around the world whose children struggle to adjust to the school environment and face challenges with academic achievement. Many of these children and adolescents experience significant learning, behavioural, social, and emotional difficulties that require professional assessment and treatment services. Psychological Assessment of Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Children and Adolescents was written as a resource for school and clinical psychologists who work with children and adolescents, as well as other mental health professionals in educational or counselling psychology. The 352-page volume is divided into 10 chapters and provides an evidence-based systematic developmental framework for psychological assessment and diagnosis of children and adolescents from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. The book provides practical strategies for assessment in the native language and the acquired language, integrates current research on the development of second-language learning and literacy with key issues for interpreting assessment data, and discusses the academic, language learning, and social-emotional needs of immigrant and refugee children from diverse backgrounds.
