Book Asian Americans  Education  and Crime

Download or read book Asian Americans Education and Crime written by Daisy Ball and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian/Americans, Education, and Crime: The Model Minority as Victim and Perpetrator analyzes Asian/Americans’ interactions with the U.S. criminal justice system as perpetrators and victims of crime. This book contributes to a limited amount of scholarly writing so that researchers, policymakers, and educators can gain a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the relationship between Asian/Americans and the criminal justice system. In reality, Asian/Americans in the United States are both the victims of crime and the perpetrators of crime. However, their characterization as the “model minority” masks the victimization and violence they experience in the twenty-first century.

Book Cultural Considerations in Asian and Pacific Islander American Mental Health

Download or read book Cultural Considerations in Asian and Pacific Islander American Mental Health written by Harvette Grey and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-05-22 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In America's increasingly diverse society, it is imperative that mental health providers prioritize the development of their cultural competence to assure that they are equipped to meet the needs of their clients. Cultural Considerations in Asian and Pacific Islander American Mental Health offers a broad array of perspectives from clinicians and researchers actively working with racially/ethnically diverse populations. This book addresses psychosocial cultural issues that impact the mental health of the growing Asian American population. The book opens with the concept of what and who is an Asian American, as well as the myriad distinctions and differences among various Asian groups. Covered chapter topics include a historical overview of the diverse populations among Asian and Pacific Islander Americans; a discussion of the tensions and similarities between empirically supported treatments and cultural competence; Asian and Pacific Islander American elders and depression; and a psychodynamic perspective regarding the treatment of dual diagnosis with an Asian American client. This book is a must-read for mental health clinicians, students, community workers, school counselors, and nurses who work with diverse populations.

Book The Mental Health of Asian Americans

Download or read book The Mental Health of Asian Americans written by Stanley Sue and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 1982-10-13 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has two objectives: to show that the research does not support the belief that Asians in the United States are well adjusted, and therefore, do not need mental health services; and, to show the effects of cultural differences between Americans and Asians in the recognition and treatment of mental health problems. The book has eight chapters which discuss the following subjects: why Asian Americans should be studied; patterns of disturbance and use of mental health services; cultural issues in recognizing symptoms and identifying disturbed persons; the Asian American family; personality, sex-role conflicts and ethnic identity; improving intervention and treatment; and future directions for Asian American mental health. In each chapter the author reviews and criticizes the research to date these subjects. The author's conclusions include: 1) the rate of mental disorders among Asian Americans has been underestimated; 2) the expression of symptoms is influenced by culture; and 3) the Asian American family has both positive and negative effects on mental health. While the author only briefly mentions the special problems of Asian American refugees, the mental health issues discussed in the book are applicable to all Asian American immigrants, including refugees.

Download or read book Mental Health and Social Media Exposure to Anti Asian Hate Crime Among Asian Americans written by (Michelle) Kuan Hsuan Tu and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: The study examined the mental health outcomes of Asian Americans who use social media regularly to learn about anti-Asian hate crime through news or watching videos online, specifically the levels of depression and anxiety symptoms. Methods: 133 respondents participated in the survey on Qulatrics which measured their reaction to social media exposure to anti-Asian crime, anxiety, and depression. Results: Correlation analysis revealed a positive, significant relationship between social media exposure to anti-Asian hate crime and the levels of depression and anxiety symptoms, such that the more individuals are exposed to social media-based anti-Asian hate crime, the higher their depression and anxiety levels. Discussion: The results imply that consistent social media exposure may be a contributing factor to one's mental health outcomes. More research is needed to understand the long-term effect of social media exposure to hate crimes on one's mental health outcomes.
