Meeting the Psychoeducational Needs of Minority Students (ePub)

"Dr. Frisby focuses a bright light on issues that often remain
obscured in a fog of polemics, deeply held convictions, and genuine
concern for the plight of minority students. Meeting the
Psychoeducational Needs of Minority Students cuts through this
fog with intense, sharp, clear thinking and data-driven
conclusions."

--Jeffrey P. Braden, PhD, Professor of Psychology and Dean of
the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, North Carolina State
University

"Going beyond superficial 'feel good' or 'feel bad' ideologies
to probe what really makes a difference in meeting the needs of
often underserved populations, Craig Frisby provides a
comprehensive, rigorous, well-written, and entertaining (honest!)
work that addresses the intersection of race, ethnicity, and
education."

--Betty Henry, PhD, School Psychologist, California School for
the Blind

"Dr. Frisby makes a perceptive and incisive assessment of much
of the multicultural ideology currently propagated in professional
psychology and education and directly confronts some of the major
issues surrounding multiculturalism. Unlike many other critiques
that have been proffered over the last few decades, however,
Meeting the Psychoeducational Needs of Minority Students
also provides many concrete solutions for how to begin changing the
current milieu."

--A. Alexander Beaujean, PhD, Associate Professor, Baylor
University
