Description

This book introduces an interdisciplinary lens by bringing together vital research on culture, psychosocial development, and key aspects of health and disease to address a wide range of salient concerns. Its scholarship mirrors the diversity of the Arab American population, exploring ethnic concepts in socio-historical and political contexts before reviewing findings on major health issues, including diabetes, cancer, substance abuse, mental illness, and maternal/child health. And by including policy and program strategies for disease prevention, health promotion, and environmental health, the book offers practitioners--and their clients--opportunities for proactive care. Featured in the coverage:
 Family, gender and social identity issuesArab Americans and the aging processAcculturation and ethnic identity across the lifespanArab refugees: Trauma, resilience, and recoveryCancer: Crossroads of ethnicity and environmentHealth and well-being: Biopsychosocial prevention approachesArab American health disparities: A call for advocacy
 
Rich in cultural information and clinical insights, Biopsychosocial Perspectives on Arab Americans is an important reference that can enhance health practices across the disciplines of medicine, nursing, rehabilitation, social work, counseling, and psychology.
