Description
Book Synopsis'Multicultural Gender Roles continues to advance multidimensional identity models. Each data-informed chapter introduces genuine reflections and accountings that lead to a proposed process model highlighting the complexities of negotiating gender roles, rules, and responsibilities for ethnic minority individuals.
Trade Review“In addition to these practical applications, others working to facilitate changes in behavioral health or instructing future mental health practitioners will find useful information for discussions of gender and multicultural issues. I also recommend this book for those who are interested in gender role research or who are looking for an example of well–done qualitative research.” (PsycCRITIQUES, 5 May 2014)
