The Invisible Family: Counseling Asian American Substance Abusers and their Families (original) (raw)

The Family Journal, 2000

Abstract

The model minority theory, the underuse of mental health services, and cultural values have influenced the substance abuse field into believing that Asian American families are psychologically healthier and in less need than other ethnic groups. The existing literature on substance abuse within the Asian American population is reviewed in this article. The family systems theory is then described and applied to the Asian American family.
