Abstract A family intervention model designed to meet the unique sociocultural needs of Asian American schizophrenia patients and their families is proposed. This 5-stage model consists of preparation, engagement, psychoeducational (i.e., survivor skills) workshop, family sessions, and an ending stage. Guidelines and specific suggestions for implementing each of these stages are offered as a means of dealing effectively with Asian Americans' differential value orientations and cultural characteristics.
