Comment on choice of article
Hey! I like your ideas, because of many aspects that they considered in their research as well as their contribution. For Reiko True we can find many research, studies and result of the work that she has done and the fact that Reiko found Asian American psychological association which is a very veyr big deal for the whole continent and its roots.

For Jack Shonkoff, he is also deserved to be noted for so far what he has done and contribution of his studies in Child development research. I also think that we will be able to find many research and studies for his work along with more possible information that can get credit for.

Psychology and Policing  There is a problem in America today. Since the shut down of many state run mental health facilities, and the increasing costs of private care centers the american department of corrections has had to fill the void. By this I mean, because people with mental health disorders cannot afford to seek treatment often times serious disorders are left untreated and as a result these individuals are committing crimes. In the past they would be committed to state hospitals but today they will be incarcerated. I would like to research this topic further as I am interested in law enforcement as my future career. Let me know what questions you guys may have — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brett.turbo (talk • contribs) 15:09, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

John Henry Brodhead I like this guy because he earned his PhD in Psychology and then went on to work in the public school system where he felt he could have a positive impact. He was also president of the American Teacher Association. His Wikipedia page is very bare bones so there is an opportunity to make it our own. I feel there is alot to learn about this man. He has my vote. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brett.turbo (talk • contribs) 14:20, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Official Chosen Topic
Group #6, us three came up with two people that we can write an article on, which are Reiko True, and John Henry Brodhead. They both deserved to have an article for their work that they have accomplished for Psychology field. In this assignment, all the members in the group equally participated whose names are Brett Turbo, Tyra Payer and including myself, Arigun Ganbat. Two people that we chose had an empirical articles and other information about their work as well to back up our article. We most leaning towards Reiko True, who built an organization for Asian American psychological association. We thought that she needed to be noted.
 * Amy, be sure to sign your contributions with the four tildes. Otherwise I can't tell that you wrote something. J.R. Council (talk) 03:43, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Your topic: Reiko True
Hello Group 6: I like your choice of Reiko True. I have never heard of her, but that just means I can't point you to relevant information. It's great that you've chosen a woman psychologist who is also a psychologist of color. Just be sure you can find enough information to generate a good article. J.R. Council (talk) 03:48, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

The one problem with the chosen Article (Feminist Therapy for Asian American Women?)
The article that i chose is titled Feminist Therapy for Asian American Women?, which talks about general background of Asian American women and the history of it from the view of mental health therapy. It mentions that lot of Asian American women had to go over difficult times and its consequences on emotion as well as emotional health. In addition, the article talks about cultural history of Asian American women on the states, cultural context, and experience in growing up the in the states as being Asian American women. The article did a great job giving the audience background about cultural and background information about Asian American women also did a good job addressing the expectations that they had to go through which resulted mental trauma because of domestic violence and even discrimination. However, the article was short and did not elaborate on such topic as much as I wanted to read or i expected. Also, i wanted to know the actual definition of Asian American women which specifically defining what they meant by saying Asian American women, including the specific geographical areas. The article mostly focused on Korean, and Japanese American women's background and history in the states, but the concept of Asian American women is much more than that. The article could have also gave more information on specific mental health issues that Asian American women go through or seek help here in the states.

Two References that is related to the chosen article
1. Neesha R. Patel PhD (2007) The Construction of South-Asian-AmericanWomanhood, Women & Therapy, 30:3-4, 51-61, DOI: 10.1300/J015v30n03_05

2. Neesha R. Patel PhD (2007) The Construction of South-Asian-AmericanWomanhood, Women & Therapy, 30:3-4, 51-61, DOI: 10.1300/J015v30n03_05

These two articles both contain relevant information regarding to the chosen article, also supports more general and wide topic that could help build more information on the topic by Reiko True.

Comment/Question
Is there any requirement that we have to find about the chosen article/person that we have to find her recent work or current status in the field? Would that be necessary?

Also, Can we use articles or book that our chosen person Reiko True contributed or the article that cited some of her work but not fully depend on her work? Such as an article about mental health counseling for Asian American Women and cited True's studies?

'Bold text Women of color in Psychology True Reiko was one of the psychologists who contributed highly important improvement and innovation to several areas such as Asian American Psychological ArigunAmy (talk) 13:49, 26 October 2016 (UTC)Association along with pointing out mental health issues through color of women in America. Reiko did her majority of research and analysis in terms of psychotherapy on common mental issues and possible mental therapies for Asian American women in the states. She herself was a Japanese – American woman who lived in California State mostly in her time in America. Although her work was heavily fell on women and gender issues towards color of women and it has also been focused on communities for Asian Americans. Among her work, she was highly recognized as a woman of color whose work essentially influenced to specific community that has never been really studied in the 1960’s. Highlight of her work was done on few races within Asian continents, which were China, Korea, Japan, Indonesia and Malaysia etc. True’s engagement in the Asian American community showed through many of her research and studies, which one of the importantly recognizable study was done in 1989 in Journal of Community Psychology titled A Bitter Bean: Mental Status and Attitudes in Chinatown. Most of her major research that specifies community of Asian American people has accomplished with peers and colleagues who themselves were Asian American as well. California was and still is a major area for many races to come together and it is the spot for first comers. True’s work stated many unwritten rules, expectation, dilemmas that immigrants go through. True’s work that studied emotional outcome from disaster was done after the Kobe’s earthquake in Japan in 1995. She not only focused on emotional distress on Asian American women, her work expanded to research on wide emotional ranges that caused by distinguishing events that happened in her home country as well. By recognizing as True as a mentor for many people in the community of Asian Americans, she also did start an expanding important topic for psychology field that states many mental issues for Asian American women. 03:08, 26 October 2016 (UTC)03:08, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
