文摘

The Filipino American population in the United States is rapidly growing, and there is a dearth of data regarding the mental health and utilization of mental health services among this population, especially for Filipino American college students. Existing literature suggests that Filipino Americans underutilize mental health services (Nadal, 2011). This clinical dissertation is an integration of critically reviewed literature and clinical input given by field experts that provided insight into face-to-face therapeutic interactions with the Filipino American population. Six-licensed psychologists who have many years of experience working with Filipino American college students in California college counseling centers were interviewed. The field consultants provided valuable clinical perspectives, observations, and practice-based evidence. The data amassed from this clinical dissertation will significantly contribute to the field of psychology as there is a strong need for specific information related to serving the Filipino American population in a clinical setting, particularly in college counseling. Reviewed in this dissertation are the historical context of the Spanish and American colonization； Filipino culture, values, and traditions； Filipino American identity development； traditional beliefs toward mental health and factors impacting help-seeking behaviors； the impact of colonization including internalized oppression (or colonial mentality) and other forms of racism and discrimination； and the educational experiences of Filipino American college students. The dissertation discusses clinical implications and recommendations for mental health professionals working with this population and offers suggestions for future research.
