This article focuses on therapeutic work with second-generation Filipino women (Filipinas). These clients are particularly vulnerable to errors resulting from the therapist's lack of cultural competence. These clients present to their therapists as having acculturated to the mainstream culture, which may contribute to the clinicians' assumptions of assimilation. When the roles of ethnicity, culture, and oppression are minimized, errors in therapeutic assessment may occur. Important areas to consider when working with Filipinas include family matters, gender roles, intergenerational conflict, acculturation, and ethnic identity. A composite case example illustrates these areas in a therapeutic relationship. Recommendations for therapeutic practice with similar clients are included
