Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian American Psychology and Psychotherapy: Intergenerational Trauma, Betrayal, and Liberation is an essential resource for understanding the twofold battle many Asian Americans face of anti-Asian racism and intergenerational trauma. Drawing from liberation psychology and cultural betrayal trauma theory, it rightly situates Asian American trauma in its historical and cultural context. It also presents a liberatory approach to counseling that disrupts the inherent power differential between therapist and client, and, in doing so, creates the opportunity for deeper connection and healing. Models for theory, research, practice, and social justice are richly illustrated with testimonios and case examples.
