"More research is needed in the area of counseling children (Thompson, 2007) and specifically with ethnic minority children. Despite the large population and higher prevalence of mental health concerns due to refugee and immigrant status compared to the overall American population, the Vietnamese American population underutilizes mental health services. The current study expands on existing research using a constructivist lens and multiple case study approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four Vietnamese American mothers who had children 12 and under who had or are currently using mental health services. Two primarily were Vietnamese speaking and two were primarily English speaking. Participants shared perceptions of mental health for Vietnamese American children, and described their experiences with mental health services for their children. The findings of this study indicate that Vietnamese beliefs and values, perceptions of problems, perceptions of factors contributing to mental health, approaches to addressing mental health concerns, and experiences of treatment all impacted the participants perceptions of their children's mental health service use. Implications of the findings will be detailed according to the Ecological Systems Theory (Bronfenbrenner, 1979; Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 1998; Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 2006), combined with an integrative model for Vietnamese Americans (Lam, 2005), and detailed in regards to practice, training, and future research."--Preface.

She Deserves the World: Stories is a collection of eight short stories about women, displacement, and memory. The characters are each distinct and take up their own unique spaces on the page. Some are abandoned, some are lonely, some come of age, and some betray the people they love. What connects these narratives is how these women take ownership of the things around them, whether it be people, ghosts, places, or their fictional Vietnams in their current Americas. She Deserves the World: Stories is an exploration of what people can learn through what they already know.

This paper discusses the issue of measuring corporate innovation capacity, and proposes a method for implementing such measurement program (i2Metrix). The actual survey on 19 Vietnamese leading businesses suggests that the i2Metrix design is working and can be further improved for future use. Responses by firms' executives show not only their awareness of innovation but also interest in management tools and methods to make use of this crucially important but elusive concept and resource. Insights from the survey highlight a disciplined process of innovation, adoption, and diffusion.
