Testing a model of minority identity achievement, identity affirmation, and psychological well-being among ethnic minority and sexual minority individuals
How is social identity related to psychological well-being among minority individuals?

We proposed that the association between identity achievement (exploring and understanding the meaning of one's id…

The use of other counseling roles and techniques indigenous to the client's ancestral culture have been proposed as alternatives to psychotherapy; however, no schema currently exists to help counselors select an appropriate helping role or strategy. This article describes one schema…
