The Gandhi Technique: A Biculturalization Approach for Empowering Asian and Pacific Islander Families.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The article addresses the need to have a systematic method of adapting Western interventions to empower the ethnic minority family. The focus introduces the biculturalization of interventions which critically examines the Gandhi Technique. When assessed, adapted, and applied, the Gandhi Technique was found to be compatible with Asian and Pacific Islander family empowerment characteristics. Considerations for culturally competent social work practice with Asian and Pacific Islander families are offered as well.
