In the past three decades, there has been a tremendous influx of Chinese immigrants and refugees in the United States. As the largest Asian Pacific American ethnic group, Chinese Americans share many of the same characteristics and values of other Asian Americans, but they also possess their own unique migration history, political background, linguistic styles, and cultural and religious beliefs. This chapter attempts to sensitize clinicians to the complexities and diversity of major Chinese American subcultures, reviews relevant clinical considerations in the treatment of psychological problems, and recommends effective assessment and treatment strategies.
