Health Care and the New Immigration
September/October 2000

This issue of the Bulletin focuses on the impact of non-European immigration on health care. Paul Numrich examines the changing face of American immigration and its effects on health care in his article Health Care and the New Immigration. In Care at Odds, issues of mental therapy and psychiatry are discussed by Mary Lou Codman-Wilson, as they pertain to Asian Americans' health care. As the articles in this issue show, distinctive beliefs and practices of post-1965 immigrant arrivals challenge a dominant health care culture not simply to accommodate to "their" ways, but to rethink its universalizing assumption.
