Psychological problems in adolescents from ethnic minorities.
This article reviews clinical and theoretical issues of particular importance in working with adolescents of black and white minority origin. This includes differences in definition of competence and stage-specific family tasks through the life cycle. A checklist covering basic points in an ethnocultural sensitive assessment is presented. It is argued that in order to be effective, therapeutic strategies need to mobilize strengths within an ethnocultural context.
