This dissertation reports three studies on mental health and service utilization among Asian Americans, using nationally representative data from National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS). The first study reported in Chapter 2 examines the prevalence and pattern of past year mental health-related service use, including specialty mental health services, general health services, human or alternative services, and any type of mental health-related services, among Asian Americans. Guided by Andersen's health behavioral model, this study explores influencing factors to Asian Americans' use and choice of mental health services. Findings from this study indicate that Asian Americans significantly underuse mental health services and that they tend to choose specialty mental health services and human or alternative services when seeking treatments. Marital status, age at immigration, and past year psychiatric disorder are found significantly correlated to Asian Americans' use of each and any type of mental health services. Second study reported in Chapter 3 investigates the influence of immigration and perceived social status on lifetime and 12-month psychiatric disorder occurrence among Asian immigrants. Results of the study suggest that Asian immigrants' age at immigration and perceived social status in the U.S. are significantly associated with lifetime and 12-month psychiatric disorder occurrence. Respondents who immigrate to the U.S. during childhood and those who report lower perceived social status in the U.S. are more likely to experience lifetime and 12-month psychiatric disorders. Chapter 4 reports a study on the impacts of family cohesion and family conflict to past year mental health-related service utilization among Asian Americans. Primary findings from the study suggest the critical role of family cohesion and family conflict in influencing Asian Americans' mental health service use. Specifically, family cohesion is found to have significant correlation to Asian Americans' receipt of general health services and any type of mental health-related services. Family conflict is found as a significant predictor to the use of each and any type of mental health-related services, except specialty mental health services. The final chapter, Chapter 5, concludes this dissertation by providing summary of findings, discussion of limitations, and implications pertinent to social work practice, policy, and research.

This book makes a highly innovative contribution to overcoming the stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness – still the heaviest burden both for those afflicted and those caring for them. The scene is set by the presentation of different fundamental perspectives on the problem of stigma and discrimination by researchers, consumers, families, and human rights experts. Current knowledge and practice used in reducing stigma are then described, with information on the programmes adopted across the world and their utility, feasibility, and effectiveness. The core of the volume comprises descriptions of new approaches and innovative programmes specifically designed to overcome stigma and discrimination. In the closing part of the book, the editors – all respected experts in the field – summarize some of the most important evidence- and experience-based recommendations for future action to successfully rewrite the long and burdensome ‘story’ of mental illness stigma and discrimination.

"The Oxford Handbook of Geropsychology provides students and experienced clinicians and clinical researchers alike with a comprehensive and contemporary overview of developments in the field of geropsychology. Informed by an international perspective, the introductory section covers demographics, meta-analyses in geropsychology, social capital and gender, cognitive development, and ageing. Sections on assessment and formulation include chapters on interviewing older people, psychological assessment strategies, capacity and suicidal ideation, and understanding long term care environments. Psychological distress and their causes are reviewed with chapters focusing upon late-life depression and anxiety, psychosis, and personality disorders. In this section, neuropsychiatric approaches to working with older people and risk factors relating to cognitive health are reviewed. Intervention strategies covered include cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and family therapy. Interprofessional teamwork and aspects of work with persons with dementia (PwD), caregivers, and care staff, are also covered. Chapters on interventions address specific populations such as lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender older persons, people with physical and psychological comorbidities, and those experiencing grief and bereavement. Finally, this Handbook explores new horizons, including positive ageing, exercise and health promotion, and the use of new media such as online and virtual reality interactive technologies in clinical research and practice with older adults." -- From the Amazon
