“Quek and Fang’s edited book … features a collection of qualitative studies conducted by both current researchers and practitioners in Asian American clinical practice. … Readers of this book are most likely practitioners working with Asian Americans searching for practical strategies to engage a population who has notoriously underutilized mental health services. … Quek and Fang’s edited book gives readers a different perspective on working with Asian Americans. … I would highly suggest this book to the targeted audience.” (Alexander Lin Hsieh, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (43), October, 2017)
