Recenzje

"This book is useful for academics, practitioners, researchers, community activists, and mental health workers in various fields. Similar books regarding health disparities such as Patient-Centered Clinical Care for African Americans: A Concise, Evidence-Based Guide to Important Differences and Better Outcomes, Hall (Springer, 2020) are identified. However, this book is written from a scholarly-clinical perspective and more useful to academics or researchers seeking to improve upon access and quality of mental health services for people of color." --© Doody's Review Service, 2021, Rachel S Simmons, PhD, reviewer, expert opinion
