Trauma and adverse childhood events are found in the pre-immigration histories of a cohort of four Chinese Canadian pathological gamblers. The nature of their traumatic experiences, consisting of loss and abandonment, neglect and deprivation, physical and emotional abuse, socioeconomic and political oppression, is elucidated and described. The impact of pre-immigration trauma and its relationship to the development of pathological gambling post-immigration are discussed. Upon further corroboration of the existence of pre-immigration trauma among Chinese and Asian immigrants in future studies, training of counsellors to incorporate an in-depth pre-immigration history in the assessment and treatment protocol of immigrants manifesting pathological gambling is recommended.

This chapter presents an autoethnography of a Chinese American woman's twenty‐five years of experience in higher education at universities in Southern California and the Pacific Northwest. Her career is discussed in four stages: master's teaching assistant and student, part‐time instructor, doctoral teaching assistant and student, and professor.

A Chinese American female professor discusses her teaching challenges and how her Christian faith influenced the educational methods she created to have students introspectively look within their humanness and spirituality as part of their assignments. Her approach to spiritual mentorship is also addressed.
