Description
Book SynopsisRather than focusing on specific groups, this book takes a pancultural perspective that focuses on the common experiences of refugees and immigrants. The author focuses on empirically-based practice approaches; assessment and intervention techniques that have been scientifically validated. Based on this approach the book presents the best practice for each problem area.
