"The authors are to be commended for a book which should be very helpful for mental health professionals taking care of South Asian patients. The book uses case histories to illustrate a range of issues, which may come up in the treatment of this ethno-cultural group. The cases cut across genders, age groups, socioeconomic groups, diagnostic categories, and other clinical matters pertaining to abuse and domestic violence among South Asians born in South Asia and in the United States. The cases illustrate issues related to immigration, acculturation, stigma, access to care, and familial and intergenerational problems. The cases make teaching points about the impact of culture on clinical presentation and treatment, focusing on how culture and religion can be both a hindrance and an asset. The authors describe how to use cultural understanding in diagnosis and treatment" (Iqbal Ahmed MD, FRCPsych, UK).
I wrote this book to give people an inside look on other people and things situations. People I''ve come in contact with and things I''ve heard people talking about inspired me. Some of the characters in the book inspired me. Seeing them and hearing their made me want to get their words and life out. People can learn how a certain person is feeling about their life. How they may feel unappreciated after they have given their all. How life was once lovely but they made a wrong turn down the wrong road and ended up where they are now. They will also learn how things great and small has a tale to tell. My motivation was family friends co workers. They read other stories I''ve written and they encourage me to put this book out This book is how I think a person and things would tell their stories if they were asked. The people would tell you when and how they got in the certain situation. While the things will tell you what they do to a person that''s dealing with the situation.

Sometimes these experiences may have influenced personal interpretation of social observation or vice versa. But love, as it happens, as it ended, and as it appears again, requires conversation in private with the self, with the other self or with the reflection of the self.
