Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the 2010 US Census Bureau, the elderly Chinese immigrant population in the United States is rapidly increasing. However, the statistics reveal disparities within current minority mental health research and literature due to the lack of information concerning this growing population. As an art therapy intern at a Chinese community center, I seek ways in which art therapy can provide therapeutic benefits through activity programming. I discuss how art therapy may be adapted to this culture in order to be both relevant and meaningful for this elderly Chinese community. Through my observations and experiences at this site, I have found that using a client-centered approach and focusing on the art process may be useful in providing therapy without added stigma surrounding mental health awareness. In the future, art therapists working with Chinese immigrant populations may wish to contribute to the research and literature as well, in order to raise awareness about minority health needs in the larger mental health community.

Book excerpt: This is a revealing compilation of essays on the latest research and debates on Asian Americans, a growing and influential ethnic group today. Encyclopedia of Asian American Issues Today is the first major reference work focused on the full expanse of contemporary Asian American experiences in the United States. Drawing on over two decades of research, it takes an unprecedented look at the major issues confronting the Asian American community as a whole, and the specific ethnic identities within that community—from established groups such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Americans to newer groups such as Cambodian and Hmong Americans. Across two volumes, Encyclopedia of Asian American Issues Today offers 110 entries on the current state of affairs, controversies, successes, and outlooks for future for Asian Americans. The set is divided into 11 thematic sections including diversity and demographics; education; health; identity; immigrants, refugees, and citizenship; law; media; politics; war; work and economy; youth, family, and the aged. Contributors include leading experts in the fields of Asian American studies, education, public health, political science, law, economics, and psychology.

Download or read book Stress, Coping, and Psychological Well-Being in Asian American Breast Cancer Survivors written by Queenie K Leung and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian American is predicted to be the largest immigrant group by the year 2055. Breast cancer is the primary cancer diagnosis and the second-leading cause of death among Asian-American women. Despite the lengthy presence of Asian immigrants in the US and the recent predictions of increasing breast cancer incidence in this population, the unique cultural needs and psychological responses to cancer survivorship remain relatively unknown. In order to expand the understanding in Asian American breast cancer survivorship, this dissertation applied the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping to examine how stressors experienced by the Asian American breast cancer survivors and their coping use influenced their psychological well-being. Secondary data analysis was conducted on 233 participants (Chinese = 44%, Japanese = 37%, and Vietnamese = 19%) who completed qualitative questionnaires that assessed their physical, emotional, social, and financial stress. Participants also completed standardized measures on their coping strategies used and psychological well-being. The analysis on the relationship between stress and psychological well-being indicated that higher levels of stress (in all four types of stressors) were associated with poor psychological well-being. Moderation of ethnicity on the relationship between stress and psychological well-being was unable to be tested due to low sample size. The analysis of the relationship between coping and psychological well-being revealed ethnic differences in the following coping strategies: expressive suppression, active coping, denial, use of emotional support, use of instrumental support, positive reframing, acceptance, and self-blame. The increased use of all emotion-focused coping strategies of positive valence and problem-focused coping strategies was associated with good psychological well-being (except the relationship between cognitive reappraisal and self-stigma). Furthermore, the increased use of all emotion-focused coping strategies of negative valence was associated with poor psychological well-being. Moderation of ethnicity on the relationship between coping and psychological well-being could not be tested due to low sample size. Mediation of coping on the relationship between stress and psychological well-being could not be tested either, due to low sample size. The findings from this dissertation could advance public health theories and improve doctor-patient communication with Asian American breast cancer survivors.

Book excerpt: The goal of this research was to create an effective art therapy program that could address the need for ongoing care for women who are survivors of breast cancer. The program, entitled Art and Story is rooted in feminist and narrative theory and on the current literature in art therapy and cancer care. This research first explores a body of literature on breast cancer history, physical, psycho-social perspectives, feminist and narrative theory and theory from art therapy. The final component of the research is the program based on themes extrapolated from the literature and also is built from my own experience in working with cancer patients as an intern art therapist. The aims of the Art and Story program are: to encourage empowerment through creative storytelling, to provide opportunities for making meaning from one's illness experience, to promote healing of body and mind through creative activity, and to break feelings of isolation by building a group culture. The eight week program incorporates a variety of arts-based interventions designed to meet these goals. This program is a preliminary guideline as to how an art therapist could work with a group of women who have experienced breast cancer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding multicultural feminist perspectives is vital for clinicians working to effectively help women in therapy. Feminist Reflections on Growth and Transformation: Asian American Women in Therapy provides therapists with valuable insight and research into the identities of Asian and Asian American women, all toward the crucial goal of being more effective when providing therapeutic help. In-depth explorations into the women's personal experiences and psychological issues provide an empowering multicultural feminist viewpoint that challenges assumptions and stereotypes about their identities while presenting innovative therapeutic approaches. Identity is made up from several factors, such as worldview, beliefs, values, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, class, age, and religious orientation. Feminist Reflections on Growth and Transformation: Asian American Women in Therapy explores how these common factors impact psychotherapy approaches for women of Asian American backgrounds. This unique text presents the current research, what the data mean for adjusting clinical strategies, and personal accounts from Asian and Asian American women. Each chapter is extensively referenced. Topics in Feminist Reflections on Growth and Transformation: Asian American Women in Therapy include: breaking free of the passive, subservient stereotypes defining gender identity cultural and identity issues emotional parity negotiations in Chinese immigrant women's marital relationships suicide as a means of agency rather than simply a cry for help the use of feminist and multicultural principles with survivors of domestic violence research on Asian American lesbians' health integrating multiculturalism and feminism in the treatment of eating disorders innovative therapeutic approach based on Hindu understandings of Shakti approaches to work on body image and eating disorders group counseling with Asian American women training multicultural feminist therapy practitioners Feminist Reflections on Growth and Transformation: Asian American Women in Therapy is an insightful exploration of the culturally sensitive knowledge and skills clinicians need to work more effectively with female clients of Asian ancestry. This stimulating work is important reading for therapists, counselors, psychologists, and others in the mental health and social work fields.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Derek Matravers argues against the mainstream view that they do, and offers an original account of what it is to read, listen to, or watch a narrative. He downgrades the divide between fiction and non-fiction, largely dispenses with the imagination, and in doing so illuminates a succession of related issues.

This book was released on 2019-06 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, there has been a major increase in research into the effects of the arts on health and well-being, alongside developments in practice and policy activities in different countries across the WHO European Region and further afield. This report synthesizes the global evidence on the role of the arts in improving health and well-being, with a specific focus on the WHO European Region. Results from over 3000 studies identified a major role for the arts in the prevention of ill health, promotion of health, and management and treatment of illness across the lifespan. The reviewed evidence included study designs such as uncontrolled pilot studies, case studies, small-scale cross-sectional surveys, nationally representative longitudinal cohort studies, community-wide ethnographies and randomized controlled trials from diverse disciplines. The beneficial impact of the arts could be furthered through acknowledging and acting on the growing evidence base; promoting arts engagement at the individual, local and national levels; and supporting cross-sectoral collaboration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parent-Child Art Psychotherapy presents a working model of ways to incorporate parents into a child’s art therapy sessions, drawing on the relational-psychoanalytic notion of mentalization in the treatment of difficulties within childhood relationships. The model is introduced by clearly explaining the theory, the setting, the role of the therapist, and the work with the parents. In addition, the book offers a full section dedicated to practical applications of the model, replete with illustrative case studies and detailed therapeutic art-based interventions covering leadership, movement, collaborative and solitary work, and parent-child exercises. Intended for art therapists, students, parent-child psychotherapists, and other therapists interested in expanding their knowledge in the field, Regev and Snir provide a definition and conceptualization of a short-term treatment model with the potential to have comprehensive effects leading to positive change.
