A community sample of foreign-born first generation (n = 53) and U.S.-born secondgeneration (n = 57) youth of Indian origin (ages 18–25) was studied. Variables predicting self-critical perfectionism were perceived prejudice, enculturation, and communication difficulty with parents and their interaction with generation status. The differences between the two generations pointed to nuanced self-pressures of Indian immigrant youth, despite good academic standing and middle-class family income. Implications discuss counseling with Indian immigrant youth.

We investigated the relationship between Asian parent empowerment and their children's college enrollment in a sample of 357 Asian parents from various ethnic subgroups using the High School Longitudinal Study 2009. A multinomial logistic regression indicated differences in Asian students’ college enrollment by ethnic subgroup and income and in the role of personal and community parent empowerment in college enrollment. The results indicate the danger of the model minority myth in masking disparities among Asian students.

The Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies (MSJCCs) illustrate the need for counselors to act as social justice advocates. The significant influx of refugees in the United States and the sociopolitical nature of their resettlement necessitate practical multicultural and social justice counseling competencies. Using two case studies, the authors apply the four levels and four competencies of the MSJCCs and provide multicultural and social justice interventions on three levels: interpersonal, community, and public policy.

This study assessed the burden, psychological distress and quality of life (QoL) of Malaysian family caregivers of outpatients with schizophrenia. Of the caregivers (N = 200), 49.5% reported a high burden of care. Higher psychological distress and burden correlated with lower QoL. Older, divorced/widowed, and lower educational level caregivers indicated lower physical QoL. Unemployed caregivers indicated lower mental QoL. There is a need to routinely assess these family caregivers for psychological distress and to provide psychoeducation and counseling.

Centering the narratives of seven Mexican deportees, this study explored the consequences of deportation on participants’ mental health. Participants’ accounts of the deportation experience highlighted the frustration, fear, and disappointment individuals often felt after being forced to abandon established lives in the United States. Their narratives captured the challenges involved in migration and deportation. This study highlights the need for mental health counselors to become more knowledgeable of the issues that affect the lives of deportees.

The underutilization of mental health services by Chinese individuals in the United States is concerning. In this study, we examined Chinese individuals’ help-seeking intentions utilizing the theory of planned behavior. Two hundred fifty-one participants were recruited for this study. The results revealed that help-seeking attitudes (β = 0.28, p < 0.001), perceived behavioral control (β = 0.21, p < 0.001), and subjective norms (β = 0.13, p < 0.001) were found to be significant predictors of help-seeking intentions. The implications of the results are discussed.

Study abroad is becoming increasingly common for multicultural immersion in counselor education programs. However, little is known about students who immerse themselves within their own culture. This study used a phenomenological approach to examine the experiences of nine female counseling students of Mexican descent who took part in a study abroad program in Mexico. Three themes emerged from the data (identity, privilege, and reflection). Implications for counseling study abroad programs and multicultural education are provided.

No counseling research exists about how otherfathering affects Black men's wellness. Black otherfathering has been primarily studied in schools as one of many expectations for Black male teachers. A review of research about the relationship between fathering, otherfathering, and mental health in Black men is presented and concludes with a rationale for more research about Black otherfathering as a potential protective factor for Black men's mental health.

This study describes the development and validation of a 32-item instrument to assess the multicultural counseling competencies of 508 Malaysian professional counselors. Exploratory factor analysis identified five underlying factors of multicultural counseling competency (MCC), and this five-factor model of MCC, confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis, has more than the three dimensions proposed in the literature. These findings provide strong evidence for construct validity and encourage the use of this instrument among counselors.

This study utilized a phenomenological approach to explore how women of color (N = 7) engage in mindfulness practices to improve their psychosocial well-being, specifically as it relates to identity development and belongingness. Five themes emerged: awareness of mind–body connection, resilience in the face of discrimination, empathic perspective-taking, awareness of internalized biases, and global sense of belonging. Implications for counselors and future research are discussed.
