Filled with in-depth case studies, key terms, study questions, and resources, and written to reflect CSWE-mandated competencies, the text gives students, educators, policymakers, practitioners, and administrators new knowledge for providing culturally-competent services while addressing disproportionality across various systems of care.The first book to examine disproportionality across various systems of care and multiple ethnic populations.
