But What Does It Really Mean?Multicultural Assessment: Principles, Applications, and Examples" (see record 2005-02700-000) is the fourth book written by R. H. Dana in an effort to address issues that arise in assessments of diverse populations. This book is designed to fill the field's need for a graduate-level multicultural assessment text. The text cites the ample research in this area by Dana as well as some of the most important studies and papers in this area. The book is divided into three sections. Section I is a general overview of issues encountered in cross-cultural and multicultural assessment. Sections II and III are very practical in orientation and provide suggestions and information important in culturally appropriate assessment. "Multicultural Assessment: Principles, Applications, and Examples" is described on the book jacket as an "invaluable new resource for psychologists and their students and trainees." In the reviewer's opinion, Section I is a new and invaluable resource for seasoned psychologists. Sections II and III are better written for students' consumption, and chapters may be selected as assigned readings, depending on instructors' needs and students' prior assessment or multicultural assessment training. In addition to these possibilities for students, this text is also a good resource for the seasoned professional. Any professional who does not own one of the other three multicultural assessment texts by Dana (1993, 1998, 2000) will find this text useful. It provides a broad overview of current multicultural assessment strategies and guidelines as well as a good resource when one is considering appropriate measures and strategies for addressing complex interpretive issues in multicultural practice.
