Exploring Immigrant and Sexual Minority Mental Health provides mental health practitioners with up-to-date theory, cutting-edge research, and therapeutic strategies to assist them in their work with multicultural clients.

Reviews
The book is timely, and addresses the needs of clinicians and practitioners who work with immigrants and second generation patients/clients. Additionally, it will aid readers who wish to use it as a means to insight and personal growth. Pavna has taken a creative approach to addressing commonly occurring issues and the structure of the book and the chapters have a very practical bend. At the same time, Pavna utilizes creative frameworks to view these issues, e.g., looking at the topics from an individualistic and collectivistic perspective. - Mudita Rastogi, PhD, Aspire Consulting and Therapy, Arlington Heights, IL
