1. If an Asian individual seeks therapy, and therefore implies that the family is not capable of solving conflicts on their own, should family therapy be attempted to mitigate the shame? Why or why not?
2. Asian Americans are sometimes referred to as "adopted whites." What do you think of this terminology, and what implications does this attitude hold for therapeutic interventions with Asian Americans?
3. The suicide epidemic among Native Americans has been attributed to alcohol abuse, poverty, boredom, and family breakdown. Which of these factors do you believe to be most salient? What interventions should be made to reverse the trend?
4. The treatment of Native Americans has been referred to as "the American holocaust." Is this statement accurate? If not, explain how the treatment of the Native American people by Americans differ from the treatment of Jews by the Nazi. If so, what role might the American government take in compensating Native Americans for their losses.
5. Native American children generally value and develop acute visual discrimination and imagery skills, perceive facts globally, and use reflective thinking patterns. How could the curriculum in America’s schools be changed to emphasize these strengths? Should such changes be implemented? Why or why not?
