Filling a significant gap in the cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary literature within the field of Pasifika (Polynesian) and Maori identities and mental health, this volume focuses on bridging mental health related research and practice within the indigenous communities of the South Pacific. Much of the content reflects both differences from and relationships with the dominant Western theories and practices so often unsuccessfully applied with these groups. The contributors represent both experienced researchers and practitioners and address topics such as research examining traditional and emerging Pasifika identities; contemporary research and practice in working with Pasifika youth and adolescents; culturally-appropriate approaches for working with Pasifika adults; and practices in supervision that have been developed by Maori and Pasifika practitioners. Chapters include practice scenarios, research reports, analyses of topical issues, and discussions about the appropriateness of applying Western theory in other cultural contexts. As Pasifika cultures are still primarily oral cultures, the works of several leading Maori and Pasifika poets that give voice to the changing identities and contemporary challenges within Pacific communities are also included.

"Pacific people comprise approximately 7% of the total New Zealand population and with their higher birth rates this percentage is expected to increase in the foreseeable future. Pacific people in New Zealand experience mental disorders at higher prevalence rates than the general population and are also less likely to have accessed mental health services for their mental health problems compared with other ethnic groups in New Zealand. This study investigates the underutilisation of mental health services by Pacific people and the experiences that hinder or support their access and use of mental health services. Interviews were conducted with: 10 service providers (6 of Samoan descent and 4 of Tongan descent); 11 ex-service users (9 of Samoan descent, 1 of Tongan descent and 1 of Niuean descent); and four service providers participants who were also ex-service users (3 of Samoan descent and 1 of Tongan descent); to gain insight into their perceptions and experiences of barriers and supports for service use. The data were analysed using a process of thematic analysis. In relation to barriers that Pacific people face in accessing and using services, there were two categories of themes. The three themes in the first category: Barriers to Accessing Services were Shame, Stigma and Fear; Lack of Knowledge; and Limited Relevance of Services . The four themes of the second category were: Lack of Cultural Understanding; Barriers in the Therapeutic Relationship; Other Barriers in Therapeutic Practice and Socio-economic Barriers. Three themes emerged in relation to the supports that assisted Pacific people to access and use services. These themes were: Supports in Accessing Services, Positive Therapeutic Relationships, Family Involvement and Service Support for Family, Other Cultural Support in Services, and Other Supports in Using Services. The experiences of stigma, shame and fear; lack of knowledge about mental unwellness symptoms and services; and lack of belief in the usefulness of services appeared to underlie Pacific people's lack of approach to services and could lead to more severe presentations when they eventually entered services. These results also suggest that some Pacific people experience a lack of cultural understanding and support from services. Service providers from mainly western backgrounds were seen as sometimes having limited understanding of the socio-cultural contexts of Pacific service users and their families that impacted on practices in therapeutic relationships, assessment and therapeutic processes. This was particularly relevant in understanding the collectivist and holistic cultural values and practices of Pacific people; the acculturation and identity related challenges; and socioeconomic difficulties that might feature in Pacific service users' presenting problems. A number of supports were identified that assisted Pacific people to approach and use services more effectively. In accessing services, these included service users drawing on personal strengths; the support of family and friends; and having knowledge of mental unwellness symptoms and services. In using services, positive therapeutic relationships with particular attention to rapport-building based on Pacific approaches were experienced as being helpful. The Pacific service providers and service users who were interviewed emphasized the importance of effective socio-cultural training for staff. They also emphasized the importance of effective psychoeducation for Pacific service users and their families. The implications for mental health services are discussed, along with the limitations of the study, and future research directions".

This first-of-its-kind, two-volume set examines physical, psychological, social, and environmental factors that undermine—or support—healthy development in Asian American children. How do skin color, culture, racial and ethnic identities, politics, economics, and environment influence children's mental health and academic success? Asian American and Pacific Islander Children and Mental Health spotlights these forces and more. This unique, two-volume work examines a wide range of factors that affect children, including family conditions and economic status, child abuse, substance abuse, gangs, and community stability, as well as prejudices such as the common expectation that Asian Americans are a "model minority" and their children "whiz kids." Since education is key to success, contributors consider the factors affecting Asian American children largely in the context of educational readiness and academic adjustment. However, the set is not limited to exploring problems. It also looks at factors that help Asian American children be mentally healthy, engaged, and successful at school and in later life. Volume one of the set explores development and context, while volume two looks at prevention and treatment.
