Asian American Identities Relationships and Post-Migration Legacies

This book brings together the personal and professional narratives of Asian American family therapists, offering insight into the Asian American experience through systemic theory, individual and community stories, and clinical considerations.

With a contextual lens, the chapters highlight how understanding family migration legacies and individual generational status relative to time, place, and context is critical to meaningful work with Asian Americans.

Thought-provoking case studies and reflective questions cover the impact of stereotyping on mental health, the historical and present ways Asian American racialization invisibilizes individual and collective experiences, and shame associated with bicultural identity, gender, generational trauma, and media representations.
