Mental and Behavioral Health of Immigrants in the United States
"This first edition is a valuable collection of individual articles structured around three important themes. It will be of most value to those mental health practitioners working with immigrants from the three main groups presented in the book - Latinx, Asian, and Arab/Middle Eastern immigrants. There are multiple books of broader scope that will be of use to mental health practitioners working with these and other groups. Other recent, broader scope publications available in the professional literature include: Mental Health Practice with Immigrant and Refugee Youth Ellis et al. (American Psychological Association, 2020); Immigrants and Refugees: Trauma, Perennial Mourning, Prejudice, and Border Psychology, Volkan (Routledge, 2018); Models for Practice with Immigrants and Refugees: Collaboration, Cultural Awareness, and Integrative Theory, Hilado and Lundy (SAGE Publications, 2017); and numerous journal articles and books about other immigrant groups. This book's strength lies in its focus on the three immigrant groups and its emphasis on cultural, environmental, and structural factors that impact their mental health." --Doody
