This fascinating book presents the latest research on the health, mental health, and social service needs of Asian-American elders.

This comprehensive book serves as a timely resource for both researchers and practitioners concerned with this neglected yet rapidly growing segment of the elderly population. Social Work Practice with the Asian-American Elderly offers both quantitative and qualitative research on essential topics, including migratory grief, assimilation, depression, elderly nutrition programs, and social support.
