Description
This clinically orientated guide illuminates the relationship between cultural and interpersonal issues in therapeutic work with Asian American clients. Drawing on both research and clinical practice, contributors describe the normative family dynamics and practices of a range of Asian American groups, address important developmental and life cycle issues, offer guidelines for understanding and treating specific disorders, and discuss the use of different therapeutic modalities within this diverse population. Special topics covered include language barriers in treatment, Asian Americans and PTSD, lesbian/gay and women's concerns, domestic violence, religion, spirituality, and intermarriage.
