This book presents a cognitive styles framework that explores the relationship between traditionalism/modernism and cognitive styles and offers a method for multiculturalism assessment and psychotherapy that promotes the development of pluralistic perspectives and lifestyles.
Dr. Ramirez continues his sophisticated discussion of the relevance of a multicultural/multiracial psychology for twenty-first century America in this welcome update. He draws on his own active research programs and his extensive knowledge of the social science literature, and also provides case examples illustrating ways to help multicultural clients come to a growth-producing awareness of their racial heritage.
