Successfully Navigating Career Paths
Successfully navigating my career has been a journey through uncharted waters amidst opposing waves—often being “the first” and “different”. My journey was one of contrasts—being an Asian American woman from an immigrant, working class family to becoming a psychologist, executive director, health care administrator, scholar, and academic dean. I often felt bewilderment and moral outrage at the stereotypes and discrimination I encountered—deemed t…
Introduction
Why an issue on Asian American leadership? Asian Americans, known as the model minority, typically “overachieve” and exceed all other groups on SAT scores, achievement tests, graduate degrees, and higher educational levels. If Asians are so smart, why are they so “underrepresented” in the ranks of political and business leadership within the United States? In this special section, we try to answer that question and how Asians can achieve equity. …
The leadership experiences of Asian Americans
Diversity and leadership in a changing world
Scholars of leadership have infrequently addressed the diversity of leaders and followers in terms of culture, gender, race and ethnicity, or sexual orientation. This omission has weakened the ability of research and theory to address some of the most provocative aspects of contemporary leadership, including (a) the limited access of individuals from diverse identity groups to leadership roles; (b) the shaping of leaders' behavior by their dual i…
Introduction to the special issue on diversity and leadership
Theories of leadership have neglected diversity issues. As the population within the United States and in countries throughout the world becomes increasingly diverse, the contexts in which leadership occurs within institutions and communities will also become increasingly diverse. Attention to diversity is not simply about representation of leaders from diverse groups in the ranks of leadership. Attention to diversity means paradigm shifts in our…
The Psychology of Prejudice and Discrimination
An updated and condensed version of the landmark work on the psychological impact of prejudice and discrimination. Spanning four volumes, the first edition of The Psychology of Prejudice and Discrimination provided a much-needed cornerstone work on one of the most crucial issues in the United States today. This updated and condensed edition of the award-winning set is a streamlined yet rich and insightful look at the mechanisms of prejudice and d…

Our Bodies as Social and Gendered Constructions
Psychotherapy for Asian American Woman Warriors
To treat Asian American women in psychotherapy, one needs to be cognizant of the images they conjure up. Negative images common in the media and literature need to be replaced by empowering ones if we are to be responsive to multicultural and feminist values. The passive, self-effacing, exotic China doll needs to be replaced by the Woman Warrior image, a classic in Chinese mythology. A look at the evolution of women's roles in China, and the infl…
Diversity and leadership
Multicultural Feminist Therapy
Psychological theory needs to be representative of the full range of human experience by being based in the experience of all groups of people. The women honored in this chapter, Jean Lau Chin, Lillian Comas-Diaz, Oliva Espin, Beverly Greene, and Monica McGoldrick, are all feminist therapists, researchers, scholars, clinicians and writers who have directed some substantial portion of their professional attention toward understanding the critical …
Division 35 Presidential Address
Although the theories and models on feminism and leadership exist, there has been little study of the intersection of the two. The literature on feminist leadership is scant. Few have defined it and fewer still have researched it. Thus, Feminist Leadership was chosen for my presidential initiative. This initiative kicked off a dialogue about feminist leadership that is summarized in this article. The article is based on my presidential address pr…
The Psychology of Prejudice and Discrimination [Four Volumes] (Race and Ethnicity in Psychology)
Assessment of Cultural Competence in Mental Health Systems of Care for Asian Americans
The Taboo of Money
Relationships among Asian American women
This work explores the relationships that American Asian women form with each other. Contributors address the sociocultural, political, historical and familial contexts that contribute to the development of these relationships
Diagnostic considerations in working with Asian-Americans
It is generally accepted that ethnic differences can no longer be regarded as extraneous variables in diagnosis. Yet, how to work with these differences often remains unclear. Asian-American cultural views and values are discussed with respect to their influence on the assessment of intellectual and personality functioning. It is proposed that the diagnostic process include a focus on the adaptive potential of particular forms of cultural behavio…
