Información de la editorial

This widely adopted text synthesizes an extensive body of research on Asian American personality development, identity, and mental health. Uba focuses on how ethnocultural factors interact with minority group status to shape the experiences of members of diverse Asian American groups. Cultural values and norms shared by many Asian Americans are examined and common sources of stress described, including racial discrimination and immigrant and refugee experiences. Rates of mental health problems in Asian American communities are reviewed, as are predictors and manifestations of specific disorders. The volume also explores patterns in usage of available mental health services and considers ways that service delivery models might be adapted to better meet the needs of Asian American clients.

Primera línea

The terms "Asian American" and "Asian/Pacific Islander American" apply to members of over 25 groups that have been classified as a single group because of their common ethnic origins in Asia and the Pacific Islands, similar physical appearance, and similar cultural values.
