“…One woman had escaped from a prison in Eritrea, where Amnesty International had brought numerous witnessed accounts of rape and torture to international attention. These reports are consistent with empirical studies of Cambodian refugee women's experiences as reported by Nicholson and Kay (1999).…”

“…On the other hand, immigrants usually decide to relocate for economic reasons. More often than not, refugees experience dangerous conditions over the course of their travels, whereas immigrants can usually arrange for safer travel (Cole, Espin, & Rothblum, 1992;Drachman, 1995;Fong & Mokuau, 1994;Nicholson & Kay, 1999;Potocky & McDonald, 1995).…”

“…First, culturally sensitive practices have been widely applied in different countries. The following are particularly good examples: formulating tactics to enable Cambodian women in the USA to share their feelings with reference to their traditional belief that pain and suffering should be endured with dignity (Nicholson and Kay, 1999); exploring how South Asians and black Caribbeans in the UK define depression by sharing this issue with them in language appropriate to their culture (Lawrence et al, 2006); and reducing the stress suffered by Chinese carers of relatives with schizophrenia in Hong Kong by sharing their views on cultural issues such as family shame and face-saving. As mentioned above, even though the value of culturally sensitive practices is widely appreciated, there is no guarantee that the practices can be effectively implemented.…”

English With the focus on how Chinese older people in the UK use health and social care services, this article demonstrates how these services’ sensitivity is undermined by mistaken assumptions about whether ethnic-minority groups organize health and care according to their cultural principles, and the unity of these principles. French Centré sur la façon dont les Chinois âgés utilisent les services de santé et d’accompagnement social en Grande Bretagne, cet article démontre comment la perception de ces services est biaisée par des représentations erronées selon lesquelles les groupes des minorités ethniques organisent la santé et l’accompagnement social selon leurs principes culturels et en vertu de l’unité de ces principes. Spanish Este artículo se centra en cómo las personas chinas de tercera edad usan los servicios sociales y de salud en Gran Bretaña. Hay suposiciones erróneas acerca de la unidad de principios culturales, y acerca de cómo los grupos étnicos organ izan el cuidado social y el cuidado de la salud. Estas suposiciones debilitan la sensibilidad cultural hacia estos grupos.

“…The average group size was eight. The group was designed to provide emotional support, validation, and camaraderie consistent with other support groups for this population (Nicholson & Kay, 1999). The group was open and allowed new members to join or leave at any time.…”

This article describes an ongoing group for Cambodian refugee elder women. The group was facilitated by a White licensed clinical social worker who spoke only English and a bilingual, Cambodian interpreter. The interpreter interpreted for the members and the English speaking facilitator but also was a cofacilitator performing assessments of group dynamics, interventions, and actively facilitated alongside the licensed clinical social worker. This model is different than how interpreters are traditionally used. Challenges, strengths, and the dynamics of this model are discussed.
