Filipino American Psychology

I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the detailing the idiosyncrasies of Filipino Americans. Although it is an empirically based book, it was written in an engaging, easy to read and digest manner. This is truly a masterpiece! Kindle Edition Verified Purchase.

I was amazed at the different theories i. Filipino American, generational gaps, religious, and persistent culture tendencies. All of the theories are supported by credible resoudrces.

I was excited reading this because many of the cultural behavior mentioned in the book makes me proud of where I came from but sad because who it can effect my people. Kevin did a fantastic job writing this reference.
