Abstract

The residents of San Francisco's Chinatown demonstrate the consequences of a substantial number of economic and social ills reflecting the history of the Chinese-Americans and the orientation of American society towards them. Changes in the immigration laws have presented particularly stressful circumstances for the traditional Chinese-American family. The relationship of such social stresses to the incidence and form of psychopathology--including an unusually high incidence of suicide--is noted.
