Abstract:
Phenomenological analysis was used to explore 14 Hmong American college women's perceptions of their relationships with their parents. Participants perceived they had become more psychologically close to their parents as well as becoming more independent from them. Participants also identified an important developmental task for them at this stage of their lives which was to balance two cultures, their culture of origin and U.S. culture. Implications for counselors are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
