Latinos are the fastest growing ethnic minority group in the U.S. and now comprise the largest ethnic minority population in the U.S. This handbook covers the many needs and advances in Latino psychology, to summarize and integrate the growing literature, and to address translational efforts. The editors and contributing authors accomplish this by summarizing theories and conceptual models that can further our understanding of the development and adaptation of U.S. Latino populations. The handbook synthesizes cutting-edge research and methodological advances and provides culturally sophisticated information that can be used by researchers, policy makers, and practitioners. Features and Benifits: The Handbook of U.S. Latino Psychology offers broad coverage of all U.S. Latino groups, whereas other books in this area tend to focus either on one specific Latino subgroup or ethnic minorities in general; Cross-cutting themes found throughout the text underscore the centrality of Latino cultural development in the U.S.; positive, normative, and strength-based approaches, and; the heterogeneity within Latino cultures; The editors emphasize the importance of cultural sensitivity and competence in research and intervention approaches and how to achieve it.
