Title: Working with Latino youth
Description: Working with Latino Youth offers counselors, teachers, social workers, therapists, and other professionals - no matter what their level of experience or cultural background - an accessible and practical guide for working effectively with Latino children and adolescents.

This vital resource, which integrates development, culture, and psychological intervention, helps meet the challenge of addressing an array of culturally specific problems such as assimilation, discrimination, scholastic failure, pregnancy, substance abuse, and delinquency. The authors, Joan D. Koss-Chioino and Luis A. Vargas, present a dynamic new model for working with Latino youth that considers the individual within the context of their families, their communities, and their culture.

Step by step, Working with Latino Youth gives clinicians a road map for learning an effective collaborative approach that evaluates clients contextually, integrating contextual levels into successful intervention plans.
