This book was released on 2015 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although researchers have focused a vast amount of research on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) with diverse groups, few have addressed specific ethnic groups such as Puerto Ricans. This study explored the concerns of Puerto Rican mothers of children diagnosed with ADHD. This research addressed how factors such as acculturation and cultural beliefs within Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Model impacted the process that Puerto Rican mother experienced while obtaining treatment for their children diagnosed with ADHD. Utilizing a qualitative research method and Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Model, the narratives of ten mothers of Puerto Rican descent with children between the ages of 7–11 were questioned. The questions consisted of semi-structured interviews to assess how culture and acculturation within an ecological system impacted the process of obtaining mental health services by Puerto Rican mother's children for their children diagnosed with ADHD. The results yielded eight themes that were embedded within Bronfenbrenner's Ecological System's theory that emphasized the importance of how Puerto Rican culture and acculturation level impacted the process of obtaining services. The mothers narratives exposed the barriers and the fears they faced as Puerto Rican mothers with children diagnosed with ADHD within the Unites States. Recommendation supported the need to address the barriers and fears that Puerto Rican mothers faced as they sought treatment for their children diagnosed with ADHD. Future research suggest further exploration of this research to empower this population and enhance the process to obtain treatment.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Doctoral Project proposes the development of a program design to provide stability to families whose child has been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The methods in the program that were utilized as part of treatment are non-intrusive. This Project will examine research studies related to treating families with children of ADHD, the variety of treatment as well as the parental factors the impedes on treatment. This doctoral project design will encompass a multimodal treatment approach that will include an evaluation and psychotherapeutic approach to the treatment of the child and the family. Its goal will be to reduce the acting out behaviors in children as reported by the parents and the teacher, decrease parenting stress, and improve the mother-child interaction. This doctoral project will differ from other programs designed to help this population in that it will incorporate the positive results that research studies have shown in treating parents' level of stress, and depression. As a result, this will have a positive impact on the relationship between the parent and the child and ultimately improving the child's behavior. The individual therapy for the parent will be a very important component to this program. Its primary treatment goals are: to help the parent identify the triggers that promote stressed, to recognize the coping skills needed to decrease the frequency and/or intensity of the stressful situation that may have an impact on the parent/child relationship. According to the earliest model of stress and parenting, proposed by Abidin, (1990) the degree of parenting stress is determined by parent factors such as: health, depression, sense of competence, personality, and psychopathology; and child factors such as adaptability, acceptability, demandingness, mood, hyperactivity, and the reinforcement the parent are receiving. Social-environmental factors such as parent role restrictions, spousal relationship, and social support also need to be taken into consideration. Parenting stress tends to promote dysfunctional parenting, decreasing the possibility of raising a psychological healthy child (Abidin, 1990).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having the knowledge and capacity to deliver therapy to a diverse population is recognized as benefiting client-therapist relationships and producing positive clinical outcomes. In fact, the APA requires that psychologists be aware of and respect the cultural characteristics of their clients which includes psychologists being aware of any biases and prejudice they may hold. Being aware of cultural characteristics, which include age, gender, ethnicity, race, religion and other cultural factors, is important. In the United States, minority ethnic groups are growing substantially, with 28% of the U.S. population identifying as races other than white (U.S. Census, 2016). Additionally, approximately 65 million people in America speak a foreign language that is not English, with over 25 million people having limited English language proficiency. With a diverse pool of clients, helping professionals should be better prepared to work with diverse clients. This handbook offers clinicians a comprehensive resource with which to work with diverse populations. The myriad discussions among the chapters include: Ethical guidelines for working with culturally diverse clients Cultural considerations in psychological assessment and evaluation Behavioral health service delivery with culturally diverse clients Cross-cultural factors in the treatment of trauma related disorders Cultural considerations in the assessment and behavioral treatment of substance use disorders Handbook of Cultural Factors in Behavioral Health expertly offers clinicians a comprehensive set of resources and tools that will assist them working with diverse clients. Clinicians working with culturally diverse clients, as well as researchers and students learning about how cultural factors are relevant to the helping profession will all find this volume an integral addition to their library.
