Routledge Studies in Asian Behavioural Sciences

The book series examines and explores the experiences of Asian populations living in Asia as well as in international communities. It breaks new ground in behavioural research by considering issues in an Asian or cross-cultural perspective. What is unique about the series is its unprecedented exploration and examination of behavioural issues confronting Asian populations or problems occurring in Asian communities. This series is a convenient venue and respectable choice for scholars who want to publish their exceptional Asian research to a global audience. It provides the international community with access to valuable academic resources of Asian scholars and is an important arena for mutual exchange and sharing between Asian universities and academic institutions in other parts of the world.

It provides a meaningful platform for a diverse and rich community of local and international scholars on a range of academic disciplines, such as social work, psychology, psychotherapy, counseling and expressive art, to engage in fruitful exchange of knowledge and dialog to understand complex and diverse behavioural issues that cross cultures and continents.　Due to the wide scope of this book series, it is possible for potential authors to integrate various aspects of behavioural sciences into one book, or compare similar problems in different Asian communities, thus highlighting its inter-disciplinary or comparative nature.
