When Asian immigrants arrive in the United States, they regularly encounter a vast number of difficulties integrating themselves into their new culture. In Handbook of Mental Health and Acculturation in Asian American Families, distinguished researchers and clinicians discuss the process of acculturation for individuals and their families, addressing the mental health needs of Asian Americans and thoroughly examining the acculturative process, its common stressors, and characteristics associated with resiliency. This first-of-its-kind, multi-dimensional title synthesizes current acculturation research, while presenting those concepts within a clinical framework. In addition to providing an in-depth look at both past and present research and offering directions for future topics to explore, the book also offers a range of practical tools such as research scales to measure levels of acculturation, interview techniques, and clinical approaches for special populations including children, the elderly, and their families. Thought-provoking and informative, Handbook of Mental Health and Acculturation in Asian American Families will enhance the understanding of the clinical and sociocultural problems Asian Americans face, providing clinicians with all the necessary insights to better care for their patients.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Body image is a significant issue for the majority of adolescents. Anxieties relating to body image can be crippling across both genders, their debilitating effects sometimes leading to mental health problems. This important book is the first of its kind to focus specifically on adolescents, providing a comprehensive overview of the biological, psychological and socio-cultural factors relating to the development of body image. It also provides a detailed review of the measures which can be taken to address body dissatisfaction. Discussing the role of culture, family, peers, schools, sport and media in stimulating a negative body image, the book also examines the different challenges faced by girls and boys as they grow. Eating disorders and body change strategies are also addressed, as well as the challenges faced by youngsters affected by conditions causing visible differences, such as hair loss in cancer patients.The book also presents original research, including the results from a large Australian study of the body image and associated health behaviours of adolescent boys, and the results of a study of current teaching practices relating to body image. Adolescence and Body Image will be ideal reading for students and researchers from a variety of fields, including developmental, health, and social psychology, sociology, and cultural and health studies. Professionals working with young people, whether in education, health promotion or any other allied discipline will also find this book an invaluable resource.

Book Listening to Pre adolescent and Adolescent Minority Girls

Download or read book Listening to Pre adolescent and Adolescent Minority Girls written by Sarah Watson Feldstein and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research in the field of eating disorders has tended to focus only on one population: the White, middle-upper class, young adult, college educated woman. However, there has been conflicting evidence concerning the presence of disordered eating and disordered body attitudes in other populations, such as minorities and pre-adolescent girls. In order to investigate the possible presence of disordered attitudes and eating in a young minority population, 34 Black American and SOutheast Asian girls from low socio-economic backgrounds, aged 7-16, were interviewed on the topics of body image, eating, and beauty. The results indicate that, in this population, there were no girls found to have pathological eating disorders. Yet, more importantly, possible routes for the prevention of the development of disordered eating attitudes are explored.

Book Body image evaluation and eating attitudes of adolescent females toward a school based mental health program

Download or read book Body image evaluation and eating attitudes of adolescent females toward a school based mental health program written by Eileen M. Costo and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Body image plays an important role in adolescence as this is the stage where dramatic changes occur in one’s different aspects of health. Objectives: This study aims to assess the body image evaluation, the satisfaction and dissatisfaction towards body image, of female adolescents through the use of Body Shape Questionnaire-34 (BSQ-34) and eating attitudes through Eating Attitudes-26 Test (EAT-26) self-report questionnaires. Moreover, the extent of the relationship between the two variables will be examined and utilized for the development of a mental health promotion program. Method: Descriptive Correlational Design was employed in examining the relationship between body image and eating attitudes among the two hundred eighty-seven (N=287) non-clinical female adolescents from private schools. Data from BSQ-34 and EAT-26 were analysed through Product Moment-correlation Coefficient or Pearson’s r, Arithmetic Mean, Frequency and Percentage. Results: Majority of the respondents evaluated their body image as Satisfied accounting to 65% (n=186). The results of eating attitudes of the respondents showed low forms of dieting (M=8.00), bulimic symptoms and food preoccupation resulted to low (M=2.83), and oral control resulted to low practice (M=3.25) among adolescents. Part C of EAT-26 revealed that majority of adolescents have not practice compensatory behaviours indicative of eating disorder symptoms and significant weight loss. Moreover, body image evaluation is strongly correlated with eating attitudes. Conclusions: Majority of adolescents practice low forms of attitudes and behaviours indicative of eating disorder risk, and were generally Satisfied with their body image. However, study found that Dissatisfaction is of considerable number as well with 35% of the respondents, fostering and sustaining positive body image is essential for this susceptible group. A proposed program for body image was adopted and modified for school use.
