Description
Summary:Using Consensual Qualitative Research-Cases (CQR-C), we investigated differences in types of problems and action ideas of 7 first- and 7 second-generation female students of Asian origin as expressed in relation to working with dreams. Interpersonal issues and academic/postgraduation/career issues were typical for both groups, but first-generation Asian women more often disclosed concerns related to immigration/cultural/adjustment and distress related to physical/health issues than did second-generation Asian-American women. In terms of action ideas, both groups typically proposed interpersonal behavioral changes, but first-generation Asian women proposed changes in their thoughts and feelings more often than did second-generation Asian women. Implications for practice and research are discussed.
