Chung, Irene and Florence Samperi, "An East-West Approach to Serving Chinese Immigrants in a Mental Health Setting," Journal of Immigrant & Refugee Services, vol. 2, No. 1/2, 2004, pp. 139-159 (The Haworth Social Work Practice Press, an imprint of The Haworth Press)

Article summary:
This article discusses the unique design of a community day treatment program that addresses the issues of loss and acculturation for a Chinese American immigrant population who suffers from chronic mental illness. The program utilizes an integrated, multi-cultural milieu of staff and clients to create a microcosm of the diversity of American society, and reflects the agency's belief in the affirmation of the clients' cultural heritage as a more effective way of supporting clients in their recovery process. Case vignettes are used to illustrate the importance of helping immigrant clients who are marginalized in society to feel accepted, empowered and hopeful in their lives in a new country.

Irene Chung, PhD, CSW, is an assistant professor at Hunter College School of Social Work, City University of New York. Florence Samperi, CSW, is Co-Administrative Director and Director of Training, Community Consultation Center, Henry Street Settlement.
