Asian American Psychology and Psychotherapy

Intergenerational Trauma, Betrayal, and Liberation

Asian Trauma and Recovery addresses the double-bind Asian diaspora in the West commonly find themselves in—that of having to cope with high rates of maltreatment within the family, as well as racism and other forms of discrimination from without.

Drawing from liberation psychology and betrayal trauma theory, Decolonizing Asian American Psychology is an essential resource for psychotherapists working with Asian American clients. It clarifies the distinction between historical and generational trauma and presents additional key concepts for conceptualizing Asian American experiences, including institutional betrayal trauma, cultural betrayal trauma, and epistemic violence. In doing so, it offers a critical analysis of how the model minority myth perpetuates biases in research and practice regarding Asian Americans. Models for theory, practice, and social justice are richly illustrated with interviews, client testimonios, and case presentations using relational cultural therapy.
