Compared with other books, this book identifies unique mental health issues in today's African American youths within a multisystems approach, and it cites a number of factors ranging from the individual (i.e., genetics, race), to the social (i.e., family, education, peers, religion), and to the cultural-historical (i.e., oppression, racial profiling, economic stratification). Scholars and students across a variety of disciplines will appreciate the book for its distinctive integration of theory, research, social policy, and practice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e-- \" \n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePsycCRITIQUES\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/span\u003e 10\/01\/2011 pg. 9 (EAN 9780313383021, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"Praeger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47448973574275,"sku":"9780313383021","price":145.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/6830\/8099\/files\/9780313383021.jpg?v=1783319599","url":"https:\/\/sebink.com\/products\/african-american-children-and-mental-health-2-volumes-child-psychology-and-mental-health","provider":"Sebink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
