Reviews
"The book makes an outstanding contribution to the literature. It is systematic, thorough, and attuned to important trends in theory and research. In tone, approach and substance, it marks the continuing maturation of minority mental health as a scholarly field." --Lonnie R. Snowden, Ph.D., Professor, University of California, Berkeley "Laura Uba's Asian Americans: Personality Patterns, Identity, and Mental Health is a worthy successor to Sue and Morishima's Mental Health of Asian Americans. It is comprehensive in scope, scholarly in coverage, and rich in clinical insights. It contains a wealth of relevant and up-to-date information and should be required reading for all clinical and counseling psychologists-in-training. It would also serve as an invaluable guide to all mental health professionals who work with Asian American clients. As a wonderful integrative resource in Asian American psychology, it will undoubtedly become a classic in the field." --Fred Leong, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Psychology, The Ohio State University "This book is an excellent, highly readable compilation of existing research on Asian American psychology and represents a much-needed addition to the literature. Dr. Uba skillfully reviews a broad range of issues, pulling together studies on Asian and Asian American cultural values, family characteristics, personality patterns, ethnic identity, mental health needs, psychotherapy, and service utilization. Coverage includes material on more widely-researched groups such as Chinese Americans and Japanese Americans, but also includes information on less-researched Asian American ethnic groups such as Filipino Americans, Korean Americans, Samoan Americans, and Southeast Asian Americans. Equally important are Professor Uba's efforts to contextualize the presented empirical findings, her discussions of potential cultural biases in the interpretation of previous research, and her presentation of alternative interpretations that take into account the role of racism and Asian American cultural values. This volume will be a major resource for anyone interested in understanding the psychology of Asian Americans." --Donna K. Nagata, Ph.D., The University of Michigan "Dr. Uba's book will set a new standard in the teaching of Asian American studies. Her timely and critical presentation of psychological issues facing Asian and Pacific Americans is long overdue. Her book will be a primary resource for researchers and practitioners, as well as an important contribution to undergraduate education." --Kenyon S. Chan, Ph.D., California State University, Northridge "It addresses cross-cultural issues of importance to Asian and other immigrant groups in the U.S." --Maria Cecilla Zea, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, George Washington University, Washington, DC "An excellent resource for understanding the personality and mental health issues of Asian Americans. Dr. Uba's book is essential reading for undergraduate courses in Asian American Psychology." --Mary Ann Takemoto, Ph.D., University of California Irvine "This book is a godsend for our new course in the Caribbean-American family. It offers wonderful insights into a vitally important and until recently much neglected topic." --H.M. Sandstrom, University of Hartford, Connecticut "...brings a scholarly approach to the field of Asian-American Studies. This is one of the best works I have seen on Asian-Americans.... Uba is to be complimented for her balanced perspective on the differences and similarities among Asian-Asians. This volume can be a critical tool in helping mental health providers gain better insight into Asian-americans. The book is appropriate in academic as well as professional practice arenas." --True Thao, M.S.W., John Hope Settlement House, "The book makes an outstanding contribution to the literature.

Synopsis
It has been more than 12 years since Stanley Sue and James Morishima published their seminal work, The Mental Health of Asian Americans. Since that time, an enormous amount of research has been conducted and there has been a significant shift in who comprises this population--an increasing number of Asian Americans are foreign born and the percentages from different ethnic groups have changed. This volume, based on the most recent research findings, brings the literature up to date by offering the most comprehensive coverage available on the full range of contemporary issues facing Asian Americans with respect to personality, ethnic identity, and mental health.
