Mental health professionals provide evidence that matching a treatment to a mental health problem is often insufficient without taking into account the patient's personal and cultural
attributes. Among their perspectives are ethical considerations in applying cultural adaptation models with ethnocultual populations, lessons learned about the importance of the cultural
adaptation of cognitive behavior treatment interventions for Black Caribbean youth, integrating top-down and bottom-up approaches to cultural adapting psychotherapy for Chinese Americans,
cultural adaptation for American Indian clients, and bridging the gap between research and practice in a multicultural world. Annotation 穢2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
