Beschreibung

Mental and Behavioral Health of Immigrants in the United States reviews research on immigrant mental health, acculturation, and multicultural psychology. The book is divided into three sections: Section A addresses the geographic and social context of immigration, including how parents and children navigate the acculturation process, how different cultural orientations affect behavior, and research methods on acculturation. Sections B and C focus on mental health issues common to Latinx, Asian, and Arab/Middle Eastern immigrants, and then more broadly across immigrant groups. Included here are a focus on depression, anxiety, and somatization, as well as alcohol abuse, insomnia, and issues for LGBTQ+ individuals. Pre- and post-migration stressors are discussed, as well as the effects of prejudice and bias, the mental health effects of religion and spirituality, and managing the demands of both work and family. Contributors from psychology, education, and social work provide different perspectives and identify opportunities for future research. - Summarizes research on mental health issues common to immigrants - Identifies prevalence of mental disorders among ethnic minorities in the United States - Examines the impact of group-based discrimination on mental health - Explores the impact of acculturation on mental health - Reviews mental health issues specific to Latinx, Asian, and Middle Eastern immigrants - Covers alcohol abuse, sleep, and other disorders across immigrant groups

Rezensionen

"This first edition is a valuable collection of individual articles structured around three important themes. It will be of most value to those mental health practitioners working with immigrants from the three main groups presented in the book - Latinx, Asian, and Arab/Middle Eastern immigrants. There are multiple books of broader scope that will be of use to mental health practitioners working with these and other groups. Other recent, broader scope publications available in the professional literature include: Mental Health Practice with Immigrant and Refugee Youth Ellis et al. (American Psychological Association, 2020); Immigrants and Refugees: Trauma, Perennial Mourning, Prejudice, and Border Psychology, Volkan (Routledge, 2018); Models for Practice with Immigrants and Refugees: Collaboration, Cultural Awareness, and Integrative Theory, Hilado and Lundy (SAGE Publications, 2017); and numerous journal articles and books about other immigrant groups. This book's strength lies in its focus on the three immigrant groups and its emphasis on cultural, environmental, and structural factors that impact their mental health." --Doody
