ISBN: 3319436457
Category : Psychology

This Handbook presents current research on children and youth in ethnic minority families.

It examines the factors that support children’s social integration, psychosocial adaptation, and external functioning. Finally, it looks at the mechanisms that explain why social adaptation occurs.
