Abstract

This paper addresses the important issues of making it as an Asian psychologist in an overwhelmingly white academic field. Based on my professional and personal struggle to achieve success as a psychologist in both academia and clinical practice, I want to (a) expose the naked truth of being an Asian psychologist within a white academic field with regard to racial trauma, careerism, and expediency; (b) chart a course of maintaining personal and ethnic authenticity in truth-seeking in spite of all the visible and invisible obstacles in a foreign country; and (c) propose ways to fully recognize indigenous psychology and integrate Asian minorities in mainstream psychology.

摘要

本文探讨了使其成为绝大多数白人学术领域的亚洲心理学家的重要问题。基于我为在学术界和临床实践中获得心理学家的成功而进行的专业和个人努力，我想（a）揭露在白人学术领域中成为种族心理学，职业主义和权宜之计的亚洲心理学家的赤裸裸真理。 ; （b）尽管在外国存在着所有可见的和看不见的障碍，但在寻求真相的过程中要制定保持个人和种族真实性的路线；（c）提出充分认识土著心理学并将亚洲少数民族纳入主流心理学的方法。
