Throughout the world as in the United States, psychologists are increasingly being called upon to evaluate clients whose backgrounds differ from their own. It has long been recognized that standard personality and psychopathology assessment instruments carry cultural biases, and in recent years, efforts to correct these biases have accelerated. The Handbook of Cross-Cultural and Multicultural Personality Assessment brings together researchers and practitioners from 12 countries with diverse ethnic and racial identities and training to present state-of-the-art knowledge about how best to minimize cultural biases in the assessment of personality and psychopathology. They consider research methodology, the design and construction of standard objective and projective tests, the use of measures of acculturation, racial identity, and culture-specific tests, the social etiquette of service delivery, and the interpretation of test data for clinical diagnosis. Ranging widely through all the relevant issues, they share a common collective vision of how culturally competent services should be delivered to clients. The Handbook offers the first comprehensive view of a consistent approach to cultural competence in assessment--a necessary precursor of effective intervention. It will become an indispensable reference for all those whose practice or research involves individuals with different ethnic and racial identities.
El estudio de la transculturalidad siempre ha constituido uno de los márgenes tradicionales en el estudio de la psicología y la psiquiatría, más propia de la curiosidad de algunos que de la ciencia mayoritaria. A la psicología y la psiquiatría les está costando décadas entender el estudio de la transculturalidad como objeto académico del que enriquecerse, no viéndolo como la excepción a conjugar sino como el núcleo desde el que debe construirse una tesis. Posiblemente sea la serie de estudios transculturales de corroboración emprendidos desde los ochenta por la Organización Mundial de la Salud los que de verdad abren el campo y plantean una serie de interrogantes muchos de los cuales aún están por contestar y atraen por fin la atención de una base amplia de profesionales. Por desgracia estos estudios, demasiado centrados en extender las perspectivas occidentales, han ido ofreciendo, por su misma naturaleza circular, resultados poco espectaculares. El presente texto plantea tres objetivos: a) Desarrollar de una manera breve y concisa un panorama del estado actual de la psicología y la psiquiatría transculturales. b) Ofrecer un acercamiento entre antropología y psicología. c) Mostrar a la psicología y la psiquiatría transculturales como auténtica raíz de la que debería nacer, inexcusablemente, un tronco científico disciplinario que pretenda ser universal.
