Consistent with the goals for the APA Handbooks in Psychology series, the purpose of the two-volume APA Handbook of Multicultural Psychology is to present the best science and best practice within this subfield of psychology. The first volume will cover theory and research in the foundational areas of psychology as it pertains to multicultural issues. The second volume will cover applications and training. In addition to providing a historical context for the field, the Handbook will provide a state-of-the-art review across the major domains of psychology from a multicultural perspective.
