Praise for Filipino American Psychology: A Handbook of Theory, Research, and Clinical Practice

"Filipino American Psychology: A Handbook of Theory, Research, and Clinical Practice is destined to make a major contribution to the field of Asian American Psychology and to the larger field of multicultural psychology."
—From the Foreword by Derald Wing Sue, PhD Professor of Psychology and Education, Teachers College, Columbia University

"Dr. Nadal has done a superb job of locating the experiences of Filipino Americans within the larger scholarship on ethnic minority psychology, while also highlighting the complexity, richness, and uniqueness of their psychological experiences. This book should be a part of everyone's library."
—E.J.R. David, PhD Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Alaska Anchorage

"Ranging from historical contexts to present-day case studies, theoretical models to empirical findings, self-reflection activities to online and media resources, Filipino American Psychology will engage, stimulate, and challenge both novices and experts. Without question, Dr. Nadal's book is a foundational text and a one-stop resource for both the Filipino American community and the community of mental health professionals."
—Alvin N. Alvarez, PhD Professor, San Francisco State University

A landmark volume exploring contemporary issues affecting Filipino Americans, as well as the most successful mental health strategies for working with Filipino American clients

Addressing the mental health needs of the Filipino American population—an often invisible, misunderstood, and forgotten group—Filipino American Psychology provides counselors and other mental health practitioners with the knowledge, awareness, and skills they can use to become effective and culturally competent when working with their Filipino American clients.

Filipino American Psychology begins by looking at the unique cultural, social, political, economic, and mental health needs of Filipino Americans. Noted expert—and Filipino American—Kevin Nadal builds on a foundational understanding of the unique role and experience of Filipino Americans, offering strategies for more effective clinical work with Filipino Americans in a variety of settings.

A must-read for mental health professionals as well as educators and students in the mental health field, Filipino American Psychology is an insightful look at the Filipino American community and the nuances of the Filipino American psyche.

Filipino American Psychology: A Handbook of Theory, Research, and Clinical Practice

I was fortunate enough to read the author's book, "Filipino American Psychology: A Handbook of Theory, Research, and Clinical Practice" prior to its public release. While reading I was enthralled by the amount of the issues my culture, my family, and myself deals with that are examined in the book.
I was amazed at the different theories i.e. identity issues dealing Filipino vs. Filipino American, generational gaps, religious, and persistent culture tendencies. All of the theories are supported by credible resoudrces. I was excited reading this because many of the cultural behavior mentioned in the book makes me proud of where I came from but sad because who it can effect my people.
Kevin did a fantastic job writing this reference. It takes a glimpse of the Filipino American boy or girl, man or woman, struggling to live both worlds. I strongly recommend this book to any professor or student in counseling, in a Filipino community, and in the world of psychology.
By Jason S. Barrios
I've read a number of works on the Philippines, on Filipino Folkways, etc. I have even read The Survival Guide to the Philippines (still a favorite). This text is absolutely brilliant. It is not perfect-- as a work that has no real peer -- but it does a fantastic job of revealing (albeit topically) the complexity of what it means to be a Filipino American in today's America. Nadal examines, and makes note of, areas that are too often lazily blended with the broad Asia-Pacific American paintbrush (i.e, LGBT, biracial children, etc). Moreover, Nadal is not afraid to reveal when "the baby is ugly," revealing the persistence of sexist mores in the "tribu." Maraming Salamat po, indeed.
