A reprint of the four-part series, Culturally Competent Practice, this collection investigates the unique cultural values that child and family practitioners should keep in mind when working with families of different ethnic backgrounds. The first installment explores Asian family values from the perspective of three dominant Eastern philosophies: Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. The second highlights the strengths of -- and debunks myths about -- African American families. The third challenges agencies to develop programs that better fit the Latino cultural mosaic. The final piece examines family treatment and healing within the relational world view of American Indian culture.
