摘要:A mixed-methods study evaluated the perceived effectiveness of a brief, community-based parenting intervention for Asian immigrant families in the United States . A community sample of twelve parent-child dyads (consisting of both foreign-born and U.S.-born children) participated in four-week long psychoeducational workshops on the mental health issues facing Asian-American immigrant families, and effective parent-child communication. The effectiveness of group assertiveness training on the child participants’ social competence was also evaluated. Participants reported improved psychosocial functioning upon the conclusion of the workshop. Qualitative feedback from the parents highlighted the efficacy of an integrated approach, predicated on group psychoeducation and in-session interventions designed to improve parent-child communication. Clinical implications and directions for future research are provided.
