Asian Trauma and Recovery addresses the double-bind Asian diaspora in the West commonly find themselves in—that of having to cope with high rates of maltreatment within the family, as well as racism and other forms of discrimination from without.
Drawing from liberation psychology and betrayal trauma theory, Decolonizing Asian American Psychology is an essential resource for psychotherapists working with Asian American clients. It clarifies the distinction between historical and generational trauma and presents additional key concepts for conceptualizing Asian American experiences, including institutional betrayal trauma, cultural betrayal trauma, and epistemic violence. In doing so, it offers a critical analysis of how the model minority myth perpetuates biases in research and practice regarding Asian Americans. Models for theory, practice, and social justice are richly illustrated with interviews, client testimonios, and case presentations using relational cultural therapy.

Shin Shin Tang, PhD has provided psychotherapy to a wide range of Asian and Asian American communities for over two decades, including to war refugees, adoptees, veterans, international students, immigrants, and subsequent generations. She has also conducted national and international research focusing on the intersection of trauma, gender, and culture. Dr. Tang maintains a private practice in Eugene, Oregon, the traditional homeland of the Kalapuya people. Her website shinshintang.com hosts resources for therapy with Asians and Asian Americans.
