This article introduces Asian and Pacific Islander Americans as disparate groups of various ethnic and cultural backgrounds. From the perspective of culturally prescribed norms, standards, and values that affect the acculturation experiences and lifestyles of this ethnic minority group, some psychocultural profiles are presented. The relevant implications for counseling and psychotherapy are also suggested.
