Positive Psychology in Racial and Ethnic Groups – Theory, Research, and Practice: Cultural, Racial, and Ethnic Psychology Series
Autor Edward C. Chang, Christina A. Downey, Jameson K. Hirsch, Natalie J Linen Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 ian 2016
Now, for the first time, leaders in the field have come together to provide a comprehensive reference that focuses specifically on how a culturally-informed approach to positive psychology can help capitalize on the strengths of racial minority groups and have a greater potential to positively impact their psychological well-being.
Acting as a bridge between positive psychology theory and research-largely based on an essentialist view of human behavior-and the realities of practice and assessment in diverse groups, Positive Psychology in Racial and Ethnic Groups focuses on four main ethnic groups: Asian Americans, Latin Americans, African Americans, and American Indians.
