“…First, diversity should be located in the field of culturally sensitive or culturally competent practice (Lum 2007;Kohli et al 2010;Harrison and Turner 2011). Several US-based models of intervention in social work, education and psychology have built on cultural competence as a 'multidimensional construct', broadly defined as professionals' incremental ability to meet the needs and expectations (both of them culturally defined) of ethnic minority groups (Boyle and Springer 2001, 55).…”

The notions of diversity and superdiversity are of promising relevance to social work with immigrant clients. They enable a nuanced appreciation of the complex and varied sources of inequality to which such clients are exposed. However, these categories are sometimes employed in overly principled or prescriptive tones, and their distinctive contribution is relatively under-debated. How can diversity and superdiversity be used to make sense of migrants' disadvantages as welfare clients, and what do they add to the pre-existing social work perspectives? This paper revisits three major issues from within the literature on social work with immigrants: (1) the shifting ways of framing these clients; (2) the relevance of diversity and superdiversity in the self-representations and organizational arrangements of service providers; (3) the methodological underpinnings, and ensuing dilemmas, of helping relationships with immigrant clients. Overall, social work emerges as an exemplary field to assess the conceptual transition from diversity towards superdiversity.

“…Essentially, to work with diverse populations, students need self-awareness, cross-cultural knowledge, crosscultural skills, cross-cultural leadership, language diversity, empowerment, and advocacy. Correspondingly, in efforts to teach such knowledge, skills, and values, educators use topics such as poverty (Krumer-Nevo, Weiss-Gal, & Monnickendam, 2009), sexual privilege and oppression (Walls et al, 2009), racial privilege and oppression (Abrams & Gibson, 2007;Abrams & Moio, 2009;Edwards, 2006;Phan et al, 2009), and self-awareness of social identities (Anderson & Middleton, 2011;Garcia & Van Soest, 2006;Kohli, Huber, & Faul, 2010;Pierce, Singleton, & Hudson, 2011;Spencer, 2008). …”

“…Given the complicated role of acculturation in shaping psychological well-being of adolescents from Asian immigrant families, professionals who work with Asian immigrant families must include acculturation in the assessment of their clients to provide culturally competent services (Kohli, Huber, & Faul, 2010). In doing so, they should pay extra attention to immigrant clients' cultural values and behaviors that may be incongruent with American mainstream cultural values and behaviors (Berte, 2015).…”

The Relation between Acculturation and Psychological Well-Being among Adolescents of Asian Origin

The current study aimed to test the direct and indirect effects of acculturation on the psychological well-being among the adolescent children of Asian origin. Subgroup analysis was conducted to compare these effects between Asian refugee and non-refugee children. Data were from the follow-up survey of the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study (CILS). The analytic sample included adolescents from Asian refugee families (N = 563) and non-refugee families (N = 779). Adolescent acculturation was assessed by three proxy measures: nativity, time in the United States, and U.S. preference. Family dynamics were measured by adolescents' perceptions about parent-child conflict and family cohesion. Multi-group structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. Findings suggested that the direct effects of acculturation on psychological well-being were dependent upon the proxy measure of acculturation and the immigration type. Mediation analyses showed that higher level of acculturation was generally related to higher parent-child conflict and lower family cohesion, which, in turn, were associated with lower psychological well-being in the refugee subsample, but not the non-refugee subsample. Our findings call for programs that can take advantage of the protective role of family cohesion and reduce the negative impact of parent-child conflict. Special attention needs to be paid to the refugee population from Asia.
