Zusammenfassung:	"This book discusses intervention strategies clinicians can use when working with adolescent girls of color, specifically those from Native American, Black American, Asian American, and Latina populations. Editor Thema Bryant-Davis provides a strengths-based framework for offering culturally congruent care from a multicultural feminist perspective to help mental health professionals better understand the experiences and developmental pathways of adolescent girls of color. Chapters integrate psychological knowledge with the intersectional cultural contexts of adolescent girls, discuss risk factors and mental health concerns, describe treatment approaches, and use case examples to illustrate how the techniques presented can be used to promote well-being and growth. Includes a foreword by Jessica Henderson Daniel, 2018 president of the American Psychological Association"-- "This book discusses specific intervention strategies clinicians can use when working with adolescent girls of color. It gives mental health professionals a framework for offering culturally congruent care from a multicultural, feminist, strengths-based perspective and helps them to better understand the experiences and developmental pathways of adolescent girls of color. Chapter authors focus on well-being and growth, integrating therapeutic knowledge with the intersectional cultural context of adolescent girls"-- "Multicultural feminist psychology recognizes the need for the creation of practical interventions that celebrate and empower girls of color while attending to historical and contemporary manifestations of oppression and injustice. This book is primarily for practitioners who serve adolescent girls of color and who are interested in enhancing their awareness, knowledge, and skills and in providing more effective and empowering treatment. The secondary audience for this book is students who have a desire to build a deeper foundation as they prepare to work with diverse populations, including or with a special focus on adolescent girls of color. There are still few resources that centralize training for the provision of culturally congruent care for adolescent girls of color. This book seeks to fill in this gap using the framework of multicultural feminist therapy. The project benefits clinicians and trainees by equipping them with an understanding of the sociopolitical history and contemporary context of adolescent girls of color; providing them with a gendered, culturally affirming frame for assessment, diagnosis, rapport development, goal setting, and therapeutic strategy application; and outlining specific intervention approaches through case studies and a multicultural feminist group model. The contributors to this resource have outlined a number of both unique and overlapping recommendations to inform mental health professionals as they seek to empower adolescent girls of color to thrive. On the basis of contributors' work, this book's concluding chapter presents integrative suggestions for individual or group interventions centering on racially and ethnically marginalized adolescent girls."--Preface.
