The Korean American community is one of the major Asian ethnic
subgroups in the United States. Though considered among one of the
model minority groups, excelling academically and professionally,
members in this community are plagued by unaddressed mental health
obstacles. In Understanding Korean Americans' Mental Health: A
Guide to Culturally Competent Practices, Program Developments, and
Policies, the editors, Anderson Sungmin Yoon, Sung Seek Moon, and
Haein Son, examine a variety of mental health issues in the Korean
American community, including depression, suicide, substance abuse,
and trauma, and convincingly connect these challenges to cultural
stigma and racial prejudice. The editors argue that this population
and its mental health needs are neglected by current approaches in
mainstream mental health services. Alarmingly, the very cultural
values that help make up the Korean American community are
contributing to its members' reluctance to seek care, counting both
familial and communal shame among the most pressing culprits. This
book supports these claims with statistical realities and seeks to
gather the relatively scarce research that does exist on this topic
to underscore the heightened prevalence of mental health issues
among Korean Americans, and the contributors make recommendations
for more culturally competent practices, program developments, and
policies.
