Examining English- and Spanish-Speaking Therapist Behaviors in Parent–Child Interaction Therapy
Parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) is a best-practice treatment for behavior problems in young children. In PCIT, therapists coach parents during in-vivo interactions to strengthen the parent-child relationship and teach parents effective ways of managing difficult child behaviors. Past research has found that different therapist coaching styles may be associated with faster skill acquisition and improved parent engagement. However, most res…
Acculturation Gap, Intergenerational Conflict, Parenting Style, and Youth Distress in Immigrant Chinese American Families
This study examined mother–child acculturation gaps in relationship to youth distress and the possible mediating role of parent–child conflict and parenting style in a sample of 81 Chinese American families. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses provided partial support for a relationship between acculturation gaps and youth distress. No mediators of this relationship were found; however, post-hoc analyses indicated that intergenerational con…
Parental Cultural Affiliation and Youth Mental Health Service Use
Racial and Ethnic Differences in Utilization of Mental Health Services Among High-Risk Youths
OBJECTIVE: Racial and ethnic disparities in mental health service use have been identified as a major public health problem. However, the extent to which these disparities may be accounted for by other confounding sociodemographic or clinical predictors of service use (e.g., family income, functional impairment, caregiver strain) is relatively unexplored, especially for youth services. The goal of this study was to test for racial/ethnic disparit…
The acculturation gap-distress hypothesis among high-risk Mexican American families.
The authors tested the acculturation gap-distress hypothesis by examining whether parent-adolescent acculturation gaps were associated with greater conflict and youth conduct problems among 260 high-risk Mexican American families. The authors operationalized acculturation gaps in 2 ways: parent-youth mismatches in acculturation style, and parent-youth discrepancies in acculturation toward both mainstream and heritage cultures. Acculturation gaps …
The Relation between Violence Exposure and Conduct Problems among Adolescents
This study tested the hypothesis that exposure to community violence, intimate partner violence, and child maltreatment independently contribute to the prediction of conduct problems over a 2-year period. Participants were a subsample of youth ages 12 to 17 years (N = 423) from the Patterns of Care study, which drew a stratified random sample of high-risk youth receiving services from public service sectors. Exposure to community violence signifi…
The Use of Culturally-Based Variables in Assessment
The Clinical Assessment of Asian American Children
Prevalence of Psychiatric Disorders in Youths Across Five Sectors of Care
Children and adolescents in community health centers
In order to test the influence of therapist's ethnicity and language on the course of treatment for children and adolescents, this study investigated the effect of language and ethnic therapist–client match on the mental health treatment of thousands of Asian-American, Mexican-American, African-American, and Caucasian-American children and adolescents in the Los Angeles County Mental Health System. Conclusive support for the cultural responsivene…
A Letter
This is a translation, or at least an attempt at one. But it isn't one in the typical sense of one language to another. Rather, it is born of the realization that for people like me who are second generation Asian Americans, there is more than just a “generation gap” to cross with our parents, but also a language and cultural experience barrier. Many times, our parents give up trying to communicate with us, and we also stop trying to understand t…
