“…Another potential limitation is the heterogeneous nature of Asian American students. As discussed elsewhere (Atkinson et al 1998;Suyemoto et al 2007), there is great heterogeneity within Asian Americans. The term "Asian American" refers to a wide range of regions with vastly different cultural beliefs and practices (e.g., Southeast Asia, Japan, China, and Pakistan).…”

Research on Asian Americans and their psychological adjustment is limited. Consisting of two cross-sectional studies, the present investigation examined the relationships among self-concealment, mindfulness, emotional distress in stressful interpersonal situations, and general psychological ill-health in Asian American college students, and in comparison with European American counterparts. In the Asian Americans, selfconcealment was found to be positively related to general psychological ill-health and negatively related to mindfulness. In both ethnic groups, mindfulness was found to be negatively related to general psychological ill-health. Findings suggest that, as seen with European American counterparts, both self-concealment and mindfulness may be important concepts in understanding the psychological adjustments of Asian American college students.

“…Considering the rapid growth of this community, it is of utmost importance to test existing theoretical frameworks that may enhance our understanding of mental health seeking behaviors. This may enable the development of culturally sensitive and accessible interventions that address the unique needs and barriers faced by Asian Americans (Hwang, 2006; Suyemoto et al, 2007; Zane & Yeh, 2002). As such, the present study aims to assess three cognitive variables from the theory of planned behavior–attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control–to predict the intention of Asian Americans to seek mental health support.…”

“…Subsequently, many modern Chinese women have shifted their views on marriage and divorce. They are now less likely to consider maintaining the family regardless of cost (Chia et al 1997;Suyemoto et al 2007). Divorce, then, has become a possible outlet for marital misfortunes.…”

Positive Feminist Therapy (PFT) is a strength-based culturally responsive therapy model specifically designed for helping Chinese women facing marital conflicts and divorce, integrating Empowerment Feminist Therapy, systems theory, and positive psychology. To help clients become change agents, PFT uses clients' existing strengths to develop alternatives by examining internalized values of womanhood within their unique cultural contexts. The goals are to empower Chinese women to reclaim their sense of self on the path to achieving balance and self-efficacy, and to redirect their energy toward a synergy between themselves and society. Potential applications of, and recommendations for, Positive Feminist Therapy are presented using a case scenario.
