“…Tran, 1992) as well as elders from China (Casado & Leung, 2001), Japan, and Vietnam (Mui & Kang, 2006). Depression among Asian older adults is associated with health status, poverty, intergenerational conflicts, lack of social support, and life stressors (Mui & Shibusawa, 2002; Mui, 1996; Ngo, Tran, Gibbons, & Oliver, 2001).…”

The census projects that the Asian population in the United States will double over the next 20 years, with much of the growth fueled by immigration and population aging. An empirical understanding of Asian immigrants' mental health needs across the lifespan exists, but the knowledge base is less developed in terms of mental health help-seeking. To prepare for population aging that reflects the diversity among Asian-American groups, this study applies the life course perspective to examine variations in mental health service use by age and Asian ethnic group membership. Using data from the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS), this study applies the life course perspective to investigate how age and ethnicity affect mental health service use among Asian immigrants. The results of a logistic regression analysis showed each age increase for Chinese and Vietnamese was associated with a decrease in the likelihood that they would seek mental health services compared with Other Asians. Implications for mental health service delivery to Asian immigrants as they age and acculturation are discussed.

“…The TUG was performed with a stopwatch. Hearing was evaluated as normal if the answer was “normal” to the question: “Can you hear normally?” A Japanese version of the GDS-15 ( Niino et al, 1991 ), a shortened version of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) ( Yesavage et al, 1982 ) frequently used to evaluate depressed mood in old age, was used to assess mental status. Its reliability and validity have been confirmed.…”

Social isolation among older adults affects their physical and mental health. Ego-resilience is associated with flexible adaptation to various environments and acceptable behaviors. However, its association with social isolation among older people is unclear. Therefore, a health survey was conducted with 510 adults aged 65 years or older to assess social isolation, its associated factors, and ego resilience. The results showed that the social isolation group had a lower median ego-resiliency scale score (42.0) compared to the non-social isolation group (38.0). The social isolation group were mostly males without spouses, took time to move, had more depressive moods, and poorer subjective health status. The non-social isolated group had faster maximum walking speed. Low ego-resilience was newly identified as a factor associated with social isolation among older people, as were being male, having no spouse, and depressive symptoms. Mediation analysis revealed that ego-resilience affected social isolation and was partially mediated by depressive symptoms.

“…The reader is encouraged to become familiar with this literature when assessing an older adult from an ethnic or cultural minority group (e.g., Baird, Ford, & Podell, 2007 ;Baker & Espino, 1997 ;Cheng & Chan, 2004 ;Lee et al, 2004 ;Lucas et al, 2005 ;Mui & Shibusawa, 2003 ;Nuevo, Mackintosh, Gatz, Montorio, & Wetherell, 2007 ;Yamada, Valle, Barrio, & Jeste, 2006) . There is a growing body of literature regarding the use of specific assessment measures for use with individuals from various cultures.…”

“…A short form of the GDS appears to have higher sensitivity and specificity than the full CES-D for nursing-home residents (Blank, Gruman, & Robison, 2004) . A review of studies investigating the cross-cultural validity of the 15-item and 30-item GDS was inconclusive, and needs further exploration (Mui & Shibusawa, 2003 ;Stiles, 1998) .…”

In Chap. 3, multidimensional and multi-and interdisciplinary nature of assessment with older adults. Included is a review of relevant psychological instruments, as well as the many issues important to consider when conducting "responsible assessments" with frail older adults living in long-term care settings.Chapter 4, written by Dr. Frazer, focuses on treatment plans, their intrinsic qualities, and how they are developed. In Chap. 5, Dr. Duffy explores several facets of treatment, including specific treatment approaches having demonstrated effectiveness with older adults. There is a discussion of the importance of integrating mental and behavioral health services with multiple disciplines and people who are also responsible for providing services. Dr. Duffy also points out that, when warranted and appropriate, discontinuing mental health services is an important element in the treatment process, worthy of special consideration. A new chapter in this edition, Chap. 6 by Drs. Hyer and Shah, introduces an important element in the training of and services delivered by geropsychologists, namely the integration of psychiatric medication understanding with consultation and psychological services.In Chap. 7, the authors Drs. Arnold, Colletti, and Stilwell, draw contrasts among the multiple disciplines providing services, including mental health services, in long-term care settings. To work effectively on an interdisciplinary team and to provide the highest quality of services, it is important to know about the roles and responsibilities of others providing health care services in long-term care settings. The discussion includes how the mental health disciplines differ from each other with respect to levels of training required of those proficient in geropsychology. There is an important focus on the topic of documentation from the perspectives of the Medicare carriers, privacy concerns, and outcomes measurement.Lastly, in Chap. 8, Dr. Karel takes up the topic of ethical issues, including consent to treatment, the right to privacy and confidentiality. Dr. Karel offers an important framework for ethical decision-making in long-term care. Concluding ThoughtsThis new publication, we believe, represents some of the best thinking in the field. We anticipate that this text will be a useful guide and educational resource to psychologists and other mental health practitioners working in, or endeavor...
