First sentence: The traditional view of the United States as an "ethnic melting pot" (Glazer &amp; Moynihan, 1970; Park, 1950) in which all ethnic and cultural groups lose their cultural identifications and form a new American ethnocultural "puree" has changed.
Description: "This book provides a nuanced discussion of addictive behaviors and their treatment among 19 different ethnocultural groups in the United States. An array of expert contributors focuses on how cultural knowledge can be effectively and appropriately applied in this challenging area of practice. Offering concrete recommendations to enhance treatment success, the book is enriched by a wealth of illustrative clinical material."--BOOK JACKET.
