商品描述
The biopsychosocial study of Arab Americans yields compelling insights into innovative theoretical and applied initiatives. In the context of a growing population of Arab Americans, coupled with the current tenure of xenophobia and exposed structural racism in the US, clinical and community practitioners must be attuned to their clients of Arab ancestry, whose experiences, development, and health concerns are distinctly different than that of their White counterparts. This second edition, with its uniquely interwoven sections of culture, psychosocial development, and health and disease, provides a rich overview of timely, critical topics. The audience for the text includes counselors, social workers, psychologists, nurses, psychiatrists, sociologists, and any other public and mental health practitioners, researchers, and policy makers who work with and on behalf of clients and patients of Arab descent. The authors represent a team of leading experts spanning disciplines of sociology, clinical mental health, and community public health.
"This edition draws on leading experts in Arab American health and sociology who document the complexity of this population's immigration and acculturation experience. It offers critical and current research that speaks to the centrality of context and diversity in treating Americans of Arab descent. Contributors explore the complex and limited racial framework within which Arabs in the U.S. form their identities, and the impact of structural racism on their lives and health. This collection offers practitioners much needed insights on a population often hidden or rendered invisible by data limitations, and yet misrepresented by cultural stereotypes."
Helen Hatab Samhan, Former Executive Director, Arab American Institute/Foundation.
"Nassar, Ajrouch, Hakim-Larson, and Dallo's breakthrough work in the area of culturally competent health care has been inspiring across interdisciplinary fields and to the communities they serve. Their work on Arab American health issues, in particular, has greatly improved clinical practice at the community and national levels. I heartily recommend taking the time to become familiar with their important body of work and this latest text."
Ismael Ahmed, Former Michigan State Director of Health and Human Services.

阿拉伯裔美國人的生物心理社會研究提供了對創新理論和應用倡議的深刻見解。在阿拉伯裔美國人日益增長的人口背景下，加上美國當前的仇外情緒和顯露的結構性種族主義，臨床和社區從業者必須關注他們的阿拉伯血統客戶，因為這些客戶的經歷、發展和健康問題與白人同胞截然不同。本書第二版獨特地將文化、心理社會發展以及健康與疾病的部分交織在一起，提供了及時且關鍵主題的豐富概述。該書的讀者包括輔導員、社會工作者、心理學家、護士、精神科醫生、社會學家以及任何其他與阿拉伯裔客戶和病人合作或代表他們的公共和心理健康從業者、研究人員和政策制定者。作者代表了一支跨越社會學、臨床心理健康和社區公共健康領域的領先專家團隊。
本版依賴於阿拉伯裔美國人健康和社會學領域的領先專家，記錄了這一人群移民和文化適應經歷的複雜性。它提供了關鍵且當前的研究，強調了在治療阿拉伯裔美國人時背景和多樣性的重要性。貢獻者探討了美國阿拉伯人形成身份的複雜且有限的種族框架，以及結構性種族主義對他們生活和健康的影響。這本合集為從業者提供了對一個常常被數據限制隱藏或使其無形的人群的迫切見解，然而卻常常被文化刻板印象所誤解。

納薩爾、阿久羅赫、哈基姆-拉爾森和達洛在文化能力健康護理領域的突破性工作在跨學科領域和他們所服務的社區中都具有啟發性。他們在阿拉伯裔美國人健康問題上的研究，特別是在社區和國家層面上，極大地改善了臨床實踐。我衷心建議花時間熟悉他們的重要工作和這本最新的著作。

作者簡介
Sylvia C. Nassar, PhD is Professor of Counselor Education at North Carolina State University. Her predominant areas of focus over the past decades have included ethnic, gender, and career development, and the intersection thereof. A consistent thread has been her commitment to communities of Arab descent, ensuring that their voices are heard within dominant discourses of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice. Dr. Nassar was one of the co-authors of the Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies, and many of her current initiatives apply the MSJCC across a variety of contexts, through which she increasingly connects her ethical practice, research, and policy efforts.
Kristine J. Ajrouch, PhD is Professor of Sociology at Eastern Michigan University and Adjunct Research Professor at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. Her research has focused, for over twenty years, on Arab Americans beginning with ethnic identity formation among adolescent children of immigrants followed by a focus on aging and health. Dr. Ajrouch's current work addresses social aspects of Alzheimer's disease (AD) where she is leading efforts to establish prevalence levels of AD among Arab Americans as well as adapt an AD caregiver intervention program to meet the needs of Arab American families.
Florence J. Dallo, PhD, MPH is professor and associate dean of the School of Health Sciences at Oakland University in Rochester, MI. Since 1996, she has used national, regional, state, hospital and community data to better understand and improve the health of the Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) in Michigan and beyond. Given that MENA individuals do not have their own racial or ethnic "check-box", Professor Dallo has matched a MENA surname list with data bases to obtain more valid and reliable estimates of health conditions and behaviors than would be available otherwise.
Julie Hakim-Larson, Ph.D. obtained her doctorate in life-span developmental psychology from Wayne State University in 1984 and postdoctoral training in Clinical Child Psychology. She has been on the faculty of the University of Windsor since 1991 and is a Professor of Clinical Psychology (Child Track). Her interests include emotional development, developmental psychopathology, the history of psychology, and mental health and culture. Dr. Hakim-Larson's research interest has focused on the mental health and overall well-being of individuals and families of Arab and Middle Eastern origin. In 2013, Dr. Hakim-Larson organized an international study group on Arab youth identity funded by the Society for Research in Child Development and collaborated in organizing an international symposium on Arab youth identity funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Dr. Hakim-Larson's publications and current research interests include culture and emotional development within a global perspective, emotion in families, Arab ethnic identity in North America, and the promotion of mental health in Arab immigrants and refugees.

Sylvia C. Nassar博士是北卡羅來納州立大學的輔導教育教授。在過去幾十年中，她的主要研究領域包括族裔、性別和職業發展，以及這些領域之間的交集。她始終致力於阿拉伯裔社群，確保他們的聲音在多元性、公平性、包容性和正義的主流話語中被聽見。Nassar博士是《多元文化與社會正義輔導能力》的共同作者之一，她目前的許多倡議在各種情境中應用MSJCC，並在此過程中越來越多地將她的倫理實踐、研究和政策努力聯繫起來。
Kristine J. Ajrouch博士是東密歇根大學的社會學教授，也是密歇根大學社會研究所的兼任研究教授。她的研究已經持續了二十多年，專注於阿拉伯裔美國人，最初研究移民子女的族裔身份形成，隨後轉向老齡化和健康。Ajrouch博士目前的工作涉及阿茲海默症（AD）的社會方面，她正在領導努力確定阿拉伯裔美國人中AD的流行程度，並調整AD照顧者干預計劃以滿足阿拉伯裔美國家庭的需求。
Florence J. Dallo博士、公共衛生碩士是密歇根州羅徹斯特的奧克蘭大學健康科學學院的教授及副院長。自1996年以來，她利用全國、區域、州、醫院和社區數據來更好地理解和改善密歇根州及其他地區中東和北非（MENA）人群的健康。由於MENA個體沒有自己的種族或族裔「勾選框」，Dallo教授將MENA姓氏列表與數據庫匹配，以獲得比其他方式更有效和可靠的健康狀況和行為估計。
Julie Hakim-Larson博士於1984年在韋恩州立大學獲得生命週期發展心理學博士學位，並接受臨床兒童心理學的博士後訓練。自1991年以來，她一直在溫莎大學任教，並擔任臨床心理學（兒童方向）教授。她的研究興趣包括情感發展、發展性心理病理學、心理學歷史以及心理健康與文化。Hakim-Larson博士的研究興趣集中在阿拉伯和中東來源的個體及家庭的心理健康和整體福祉。2013年，Hakim-Larson博士組織了一個由兒童發展研究學會資助的阿拉伯青年身份國際研究小組，並參與組織了一個由加拿大社會科學與人文研究委員會資助的阿拉伯青年身份國際研討會。Hakim-Larson博士的出版物和當前研究興趣包括全球視角下的文化與情感發展、家庭中的情感、北美的阿拉伯族裔身份，以及促進阿拉伯移民和難民的心理健康。
