Briefly describe the history of the Jews as it relates to assimilation and associated changes in community and identity.
A largely singular and insular ethnic people through biblical times, the destruction of the second temple drove Jews from their homeland and dispersed them throughout the world. The Jews, as geographically splintered subgroups, experienced repeated migrations, and resettlements. The characteristics of heightened self-expression, achievement orientation, and adroit verbal skills often fuse in North American Jewish families to predispose its members to initiate verbal attacks when threatened. Jewish history has so often been characterized by persecution and oppression that the expectation of suffering, attitudes of cynicism and pessimism, and even paranoia have become a central aspect of the family's ethos. With assimilation, it growing conflict emerged between family and success. Especially for men, becoming successful meant less time available in the home for family activities and interaction. As an oppressed minority, Jews also tended to push harder to succeed and prove themselves equal to or better than majority group members. There is enormous pressure on children and spouses to achieve. In exchange for their special status and treatment, children are expected to perform, often at unrealistically high levels. The perfectionist demands of the family can easily create a sense of failure your respective of one's actual accomplishments. such demands and their attendant sense of failure can also lead to competition among family members and the devaluing of each other to bolster self-esteem.

How might Arab American family structures and values impact therapeutic work?
Although families have more recently tended, especially in the West, toward the establishment of individual households, allegiance to kin remains strong. Men, women, and children are each given duties to perform in relation to each other and specific instructions on how to carry out these responsibilities. Men and a woman are expected to follow specific codes of family and honor, maintain the family, and rear the children. Parents tend to use anger and punishment and the children respond by crying, self-censorship, covering up, or deception. Child-rearing techniques range from mild rebukes to two threats, balanced by unconditional love and appreciation, specifically for the sons. Boys and girls are treated differently, with an eye to instilling traditional sex-role expectations in both. they are expected to maintain close family ties and are discouraged from individualism and separation from parents and the family. They are expected to obey the authority of the father and family, as opposed to having and acting upon their own ideas. They spend more time with and are more emotionally attached to the mother, who often acts as a go-between in communication with the father.

Discuss the Arab and Muslim American views of the West. How might they affect the therapeutic relationship?
Arabs And Muslims have historically viewed the West with great ambivalence and through the lenses of colonization of the Arab and Muslim world. The west, historically Europe and more recently America, is seen as the colonizer of lands and resources as well as an internal hindrance to independence and national development. at the same time, it is considered powerful, even superior, because of its association with the scientific progress and technology that is so sought after in Arab and Muslim nations. This attitude is not based solely on the past but have been powerfully reinforced by the present invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. This perception is based on the real facts of western hegemony and also colored by the way Arabs and Muslims tend to explain their problems. Providers Need to be aware of the existence of this psychology of oppression, to understand the collective experience of their Arab and/or Muslim clients and to show an awareness and empathy for the differences in their worldviews. Communicating personally within the collective experience is very helpful in breaking down many barriers during therapy. Children are eager to become assimilated and adopt American values and norms, while their parents struggle to keep them tied to tradition and religion. husbands become more quickly adapted to American life and spend much of the day at work and away from home, while their wives are expected to remain at home, as was the case in their homeland.
Describe the ways in which the development of a deficit or cultural inferiority theory may occur in the social sciences. In what other ways have bias impacted research of ethnically diverse groups?
As biological theories of genetic inferiority last intellectual credibility, they were quickly replaced in social science circles by notions of cultural inferiority or deficit theories. While political correctness would not allow practitioners with negative racial attitudes to continue to embrace the idea of genetic inferiority, they could easily attach themselves to theories that assumed that a community subject to poverty and oppression is a disorganized community, and this disorganization expresses itself in various forms of psychological deficit ranging from intellectual performance two personality functioning and psychopathology.

Discuss the history of naming and self-identification of African American people.
Black was more typical of the 1960s and 70s. earlier names focused on the skin color, using names such as negro, colored, black, and African American. Negro, nonderogatory in its meaning, comes from the Spanish word negro which means black, but it focused on skin color. colored brought us further away from the word black, and it tends to be kinder and politer. it was an affirming of African identities in both skin color and hairstyle. For the term African American, it focuses on culture both our connections to Africa, where we came from, and America, where we reside now. it also distinguishes us from other peoples with black skin. When using the term African American in this country it puts us on the same status as other groups in America, it gives us status and places culture in a very salient position in defining who we are, and it tends to be more inclusive.

Discuss Laszloffy's intervention strategies for working with bicultural families.
Do not expose the child to negative or devaluing messages about any of the groups that they have membership in, this compromises their ability to embrace and successfully integrate these aspects of themselves into their self-concept. Families must prepare children adequately for the racism that they will inevitably be confronted with outside the home. The suggested interventions are confronting devaluing or mixed racial messages, freeing children from racialized loyalty binds, and fostering strategies for resisting racism.

Family roles and duties are highly structured and traditional, as are sex roles, which are referred to as machismo and marianismo.

It refers to the sense of responsibility the male feels to care for and protect his family and those around him. In the americanized version, it means bravado, being loud, aggressive, and tough.

Hacker argues that the United States is essential two nations—black and white. Do you agree? Explain your reasoning.
I completely agree with Hacker because as he stated there is an enormous disparity in the access that these two groups have to the resources and benefits of this rich nation. The same resources that white people have black people do not have access to most. This can range from average salaries to unemployment, from incarceration figures to educational levels, from teenage pregnancies to poverty statistics. For example, poverty rates among African Americans are almost three times that of whites, life expectancy is 6 years shorter, and infant mortality rates are twice those of whites. Also. African American households receive the lowest annual median income, and the men experience the highest rate of unemployment among ethnic minorities.
In what ways does narrative collective practice (e.g., The Tree of Life exercise) help children address issues in a more productive way than traditional therapy?
It enables vulnerable children to speak about their lives in ways that make them stronger, also allowing them to collectively speak about difficulties they are experiencing and share skills and knowledge in ways of dealing with these. It also embraces narrative practices to help generate a second story, that is more hopeful, sustaining, and empowering by focusing on individual strengths and skills and less pathologizing and self-blaming by stressing resources, the full picture of their lives and collecting their experiences.
Which of the following statements about buffer zones is FALSE?
It is limited to parents and family.
What are the most appropriate sources of cultural information when working with Native communities? In what ways can this information help you assess and build rapport with clients?
It is vital that other human service providers be aware of their own cultural values, biases, and barriers and understand clearly how they themselves have been influenced by culture. When working with people from diverse cultures, it is important to validate their experience and existence in terms of their own cultural perspectives. We must be aware of our own culture and how that culture affects our lives. Information should be balanced from not only the client but also the community. The most important piece of information to gain about Native clients is where they fall on a continuum from assimilated to traditional. We must be aware of ourselves and the underlying issues that affect our clients. The professional must come from a place of acceptance and respect as a care provider, also you must learn to not be afraid of their anger. The goal is to help develop a therapeutic relationship so that clients can heal themselves.
Describe Jewish traditional family characteristics and family roles.
Jewish tradition is centered, unmarried men and women and childless couples are seen as incomplete, intermarriage and divorce are looked down upon and viewed as violations of family togetherness. sex and family rules are rigid and remained so throughout life within both the primary and extended family. High expectations are placed on children as well as adults, and socialization is accomplished through the threat of withdrawal of love and the engendering of guilt. Within the family itself, relations are very close, often with unclear boundaries. Children are afforded higher status than most other groups. They are expected to give their parents pleasure by way of their accomplishments and to remain within the family complex throughout life. Traditionally, the sexes tend to be segregated, yet there exists within the Jewish family very strong ties and conflicts between fathers and daughters and mothers and sons. Jewish men are often described as distant and dependent, and Jewish women as intrusive and controlling.

Peskin suggests that dehumanization and dehumanization as organizing principles in psychotherapy. As a result of traumatic experience, the self becomes disconnected from not only the reality and truth of her or his own victimization but also the discernments gleaned from a communal witness that makes a person feel credible to oneself and others. Peskin believes that in the treatment of trauma and other disorders of dehumanization, the therapist must take on the role of witness and help the patient come to discern the selective inattention to his own dehumanization from lack of acknowledgment by its perpetrators.
According to Poussaint, how can parents teach children to handle their anger in the face of racism? What advice does Lewin provide for preparing children cognitively for racism?
Poussaint points out the importance of helping children learn to manage the righteous anger that they will feel like objects of racial hatred. Teach children to assert themselves sufficiently, to display their anger appropriately, and to sublimate and channel much of it into constructive energy for actively dealing with the world. Parents should help their children develop that delicate balance between appropriate control and appropriate display of anger aggression, love, and hate. According to Lewin, never deny a child's ethnicity or underestimate the impact it will have on his or her life. Parents should answer questions as simply as possible and not overwhelm children with more knowledge than they currently need.
Describe how the CERI treats Cambodian refugees in a culturally competent manner.
ROYA provides at risk youth with individual and group counseling, case management, and other support services, in conjunction with family counseling and parenting education for parents or caregivers. The ultimate goal is to help at risk young people develop their potential and become leaders in their community. It also involves the parents of these children and youth in treatment.

What factors keep African Americans from seeing mental health services? From what other outlets do they seek help?
Some Factors that prevent African Americans from seeking professional help are cost, access, and being lied to. African Americans have learned not to seek help from professionals because seeking help from professionals in the past has left a bad taste on us. For instance, the Tuskegee syphilis study, African American men participated in research without their knowledge and consent and treatment was withheld so that the researchers could have watch what happened without treatment. psychological testing has been used against us, and many in our community so they just do not feel that the psychology system has much to offer. Instead of seeking help from professionals, they rely heavily on the church, black social organizations, ministers, and leaders in the community.
What are some key learnings to focus on when helping a victim of trauma seek forgiveness?
Some key learnings to focus on when helping a victim of trauma seek forgiveness is learning to view the offending event less personally, learning to take responsibility for one's own emotional experience rather than blaming the source of the frustration for those feelings, changing ones grievance story to an alternative conception that focuses on a choice to grow and prosper instead of suffering, and identifying and altering the unenforceable rules that underpin the grievance story.
Discuss the trends seen in youth of color related to drug and alcohol use. What are the underlying reasons for these trends?

Describe Dr. Dwairy's three-factor approach to client assessment.
The assessment consists of the three main factors which are, the client's level of individuation, ego strength, and the family's level of strictness. Individuation concerns attitudes toward individualistic values that differ among Arabs and/or Muslims. Ego strength is imperative because self-fulfillment and assertiveness are not easily accepted in collective societies, such qualities are likely to generate conflicts within the family. Family strictness can be subjective since some families are just too strict and not ready to accept any change in their lifestyle, norms, and values, while others are more open to change.

Discuss the history of the boarding school experience. What were the short- and long-term repercussions of these governmental policies?
Until the mid 1980s, many native children were taken from their natural families and communities and forced to reside in boarding schools, where they were isolated from native culture and ways and then immersed in the dominant culture and Christian values" (p.304). The children were being punished for speaking their native language and practicing their traditional ways. Basically, people were being mistreated because they were doing things the way that they were raised and were taught by their ancestors while growing up. During this historical event, the country was trying to eradicate the Native American culture and its people, just trying to get rid of every trace of Native American that they possibly could. Once accomplished, the child could be molded as desired, which meant shaping them into white Christians with mainstream values and attitudes. When the children were taken out of their families, they were separated from their parents, grandparents, aunt and more. Many Native children were deprived of the opportunity to learn parenting skills and other cultural lessons that would have enabled them to raise healthy families of their own.
