“…Although tribes may vary in terms of dominant religion, the belief that all of nature-plants, animals, minerals, land, sun, wind, moon, sky-is interconnected with personhood is a central component of American Indian spirituality (Garrett & Garrett, 1994). The interconnectedness of life is represented in a circular worldview in which the East represents the spirit, South represents nature, West represents the body, and North represents the mind (Garrett & Garrett, 1994).…”

This article links the empirical literature on race and ethnicity in developmental psychopathology with interventions designed to reduce adolescent problem behavior. We present a conceptual framework in which culture is endogenous to the socialization of youth and the development of specific self-regulatory strategies. The importance of cultural influence is identified at three levels: (a) intrapersonal developmental processes (e.g., ethnic identity development, development of coping modifies mechanisms and self-regulatory mechanisms), (b) family socialization processes (e.g., racial and ethnic socialization), and (c) interaction with larger societal contexts (e.g., maintenance of bicultural competence in adapting to mainstream and ethnic cultures). We discuss limitations of current assessment and intervention practices that focus on reducing adolescent problem behavior with respect to the cultural issues identified above. We propose that empirically supported adaptive and tailored interventions for adolescent problem behavior are optimal for serving multicultural children and families. To empower such interventions to better serve children and families of color, it is essential that assessments that guide the adaptation and tailoring process include culturally salient dynamics such as ethnic identity, racial socialization, and culturally informed parenting practices.

For instance, it has been reported that a strong and all-encompassing belief in the spiritual realm plays a central role in Native American psychology (Garrett & Garrett, 1994 Although spiritual beliefs and traditions play an important role in the psychological development of people from diverse culturalethnic-racial backgrounds, it is distressing to note the lack of attention that has been directed to this aspect of human development by counseling theorists, researchers, practitioners, and educators. In light of the rapid cultural diversification of the United States (Sue et al.…”

This article examines the ways that spiritual beliefs and traditions associated with the Filipino culture influenced an 1 I-year-old boy's efforts to cope with the death of his mother. Implications for attending to clients' spiritual beliefs are discussed.Researchers have noted that most people in the United States have some sort of spiritual identity (Gallup & Castelli, 1989;Kelly, 1995). The term spiritual identrty refers to the manner in which a person's spiritual beliefs influence their self-definition and the way that person constructs meaning of life (D'Andrea & Daniels, in press). Although a person's spirituality clearly plays an important role in the psychological development of many ifnot most people in our modem society, it is curious that this issue has not been extensively addressed by counseling theorists and researchers in the past. Recently, however, a number of persons in the profession have demonstrated increased interest in understanding how issues related to spirituality affect human development. To gain an increased understanding of the ways in which spirituality influences an individual's psychological development, it is important to first define what we mean by this term.In attempting to define this construct, Albanese (1992) pointed out that the term Spirituality has been commonly used to refer to "extraordinary" experiences that go beyond the boundaries of the strictly objective, empirically perceived material world. Kelly ( 1995) built on

“…The importance of cross-cultural communication has prompted many investigations into the communication styles of various ethnic minority communities (e.g., Garrett & Garrett, 1994;Ibrahim, Ohnishi, & Sandhu, 1997;Wong & Piran, 1995). These studies offer invaluable insights into the communication styles of traditional societies (such as, First Nations people, South Asians, Asians).…”

This paper is an extension of the primary author's post-doctoral research on the Sikh diaspora in Vancouver, Canada. Drawing upon the orality, literacy and 'analytics' (critical inquiry) paradigm, the paper delineates the distinctive communication patterns that characterize each of three generations in the Punjabi community in that location. A sample intergenerational dialogue in the counselling context is provided to demonstrate the nature of fluidity in communication, and the implications for helping professionals are discussed.
