Culturally Responsive Counseling with Asian American Men

With this book, the editors fill a gap in the current literature by providing practitioners with a comprehensive and current review of the most relevant issues that Asian American men experience, as well as by presenting culturally-responsive techniques and novel strategies on how to work with them. Some questions that the editors intend to answer areHow can Asian American men navigate and form a healthy masculine identity, as well as minimize gender role conflict?What are some strategies to treat substance abuse and depression among members of this group?How does one deal with sexual orientation and the coming-out process?What are the effective ways to help men experiencing racial and ethnic identity conflict?Each chapter is written by leading figures in the field and follows a useful and practical format: they begin with a relevant case-study and an introduction to the content of the chapter, highlighting the key research findings and limitations. Next, the authors explore the treatment considerations and key issues that clinicians need to be aware of. They conclude with strategies and interventions based on the case-study discussed at the beginning of the chapter. The result is a highly informative and practice-oriented text that will not only be a valuable resource for practitioners, but also one that will help illuminate the special needs of a group that has until now not been given the necessary attention.
