Self and relatedness are the two most essential dimensions of personality, as indicated in many personality theories, and have been supported by numerous empirical studies conducted in the western (individualistic) and eastern (collectivist) contexts. However, because of a confusion or failure to distinguish the structure and function of personality, popular theories (e.g., the Big Five model) do not make logic distinctions between these two basic personality dimensions. In terms of the cultural-relevant feature, both self and relatedness and their specific aspects may be variously highlighted in different cultural settings. On the basis of a re-examination of several crucial two-dimension (namely, self and relatedness) personality theories derived from the east and west, we reconstruct a new two polarities personality model to include not only self and relatedness but also the independent and interdependent functions in terms of some popular personality theories from western and ea...

One of the most persistent health disparities is the underutilization of mental health services by people of color. Neither evidence-based treatments (universal focus), nor culturally-adapted treatments (group focus), have reduced these disparities. We propose the Personal Relevance of Psychotherapy (PROP) model that integrates universal, group, and individual dimensions to determine the personal relevance of interventions. A cultural example of personal relevance among people of East Asian ancestry involves “face” (i.e., one’s prestige and position in society) which may moderate treatment outcomes. Pragmatic intervention approaches focused on helping individuals cope with specific external problems, as compared to managing a “personal” disease, can effectively “restore” face. Thus, social problem-solving interventions may be more personally relevant to many people of East Asian ancestry than approaches that are internally- focused. In addition, we posit that social neuroscience can...

There are approximately 1.4 million Asian American and Pacific Islanders who are suffering from some form of psychiatric disorder. Given the extent of this problem, I wish that we could provide specific epidemiological estimates of psychiatric disorders among Asian Americans. Unfortunately, there are few, if any, reliable and valid community-based epidemiological data on Asian Americans at this point. Given this state of affairs, it is quite important that we continue to do research on the mental needs and problems among Asian Americans so that we can provide the much needed mental health services.

Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, particularly for adolescents and young adults. Though depression is often a contributing factor in suicide, cultural influences may play significant roles, both as stressors and buffers to suicide attempts and completions. Unfortunately, our current knowledge of these cultural factors is limited, but there have been increasing efforts over the past decade to determine common and varying ethnic, as well as broader cultural, influences on suicide. Though even more limited, researchers and practitioners are beginning to develop culturally inclusive prevention and intervention efforts in order to decrease the likelihood of suicide, as well as offering postvention assistance. This chapter summarizes the suicide literature among African American, Asian American, Latino/a Americans, and American Indians.
