'1). The one problem with the chosen Article (Feminist Therapy for Asian American Women? The article that i chose is titled Feminist Therapy for Asian American Women?, which talks about general background of Asian American women and the history of it from the view of mental health therapy. It mentions that lot of Asian American women had to go over difficult times and its consequences on emotion as well as emotional health. In addition, the article talks about cultural history of Asian American women on the states, cultural context, and experience in growing up the in the states as being Asian American women. The article did a great job giving the audience background about cultural and background information about Asian American women also did a good job addressing the expectations that they had to go through which resulted mental trauma because of domestic violence and even discrimination. However, the article was short and did not elaborate on such topic as much as I wanted to read or i expected. Also, i wanted to know the actual definition of Asian American women which specifically defining what they meant by saying Asian American women, including the specific geographical areas. The article mostly focused on Korean, and Japanese American women's background and history in the states, but the concept of Asian American women is much more than that. The article could have also gave more information on specific mental health issues that Asian American women go through or seek help here in the states.

2). Two References that is related to the chosen article: 1. Neesha R. Patel PhD (2007) The Construction of South-Asian-AmericanWomanhood, Women & Therapy, 30:3-4, 51-61, DOI: 10.1300/J015v30n03_05

2. Neesha R. Patel PhD (2007) The Construction of South-Asian-AmericanWomanhood, Women & Therapy, 30:3-4, 51-61, DOI: 10.1300/J015v30n03_05

These two articles both contain relevant information regarding to the chosen article, also supports more general and wide topic that could help build more information on the topic by Reiko True.

3).Comment/question - Is there any requirement that we have to find about the chosen article/person that we have to find her recent work or current status in the field? Would that be necessary? You should provide complete information, so yes. See the 'Editing Wikipedia articles on psychologists' for instructions about writing on a person. J.R. Council (talk) 14:52, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

-Also, Can we use articles or book that our chosen person Reiko True contributed or the article that cited some of her work but not fully depend on her work? Such as an article about mental health counseling for Asian American Women and cited True's studies?

• Yes, of course. J.R. Council (talk) 14:52, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

1) There is no wikipedia article about Rieko True. This in itself is a problem.

2) I found 2 refrences to be used to gain a better understanding of our topic: Various authors. (2016) Featured Psychologist: Reiko True, PhD. Retrieved from http://www.apa.org/pi/oema/resources/ethnicity-health/psychologists/true.asp

Various authors. (February 2006) Reiko Homma True: PhD Clinical Psychologist. Retrieved from http://www.apa.org/monitor/feb06/true.aspx

3) I wonder, since our topic is a person, how heavily do I focus on her personal history and achievements vs. her work and findings?

• Try to give equal coverage to both. J.R. Council (talk) 14:52, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

What challenges do you anticipate our group will face as a result of our person not being well known?

• That should not be a challenge as long as you can find information on her and her work. J.R. Council (talk) 14:52, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Women of color in Psychology True Reiko was one of the psychologists who contributed highly important improvement and innovation to several areas such as Asian American Association along with pointing out mental health issues through color of women in America. Reiko did her majority of research and analysis in terms of psychotherapy on common mental issues and possible mental therapies for Asian American women in the states. She herself was a Japanese – American woman who lived in California State mostly in her time in America. Although her work was heavily fell on women and gender issues towards color of women and it has also been focused on communities for Asian Americans.

Among her work, she was highly recognized as a woman of color whose work essentially influenced to specific community that has never been really studied in the 1960’s. Highlight of her work was done on few races within Asian continents, which were China, Korea, Japan, Indonesia and Malaysia etc. True’s engagement in the Asian American community showed through many of her research and studies, which one of the importantly recognizable study was done in 1989 in Journal of Community Psychology titled A Bitter Bean: Mental Status and Attitudes in Chinatown. Most of her major research that specifies community of Asian American people has accomplished with peers and colleagues who themselves were Asian American as well. 

California was and still is a major area for many races to come together and it is the spot for first comers. True’s work stated many unwritten rules, expectation, dilemmas that immigrants go through. True’s work that studied emotional outcome from disaster was done after the Kobe’s earthquake in Japan in 1995. She not only focused on emotional distress on Asian American women, her work expanded to research on wide emotional ranges that caused by distinguishing events that happened in her home country as well.ArigunAmy (talk) 01:53, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
