Abstract	General implications for counseling Asian immigrant women were sought through individual and group counseling at King Edward Campus of Vancouver Community College. The campus is the base for the centralized English as a second language program for new Canadian adults in British Columbia. The research focused in part on nine women who were tested and interviewed. Sociological and psychological dynamics that counselors and teachers should understand include the minority group status of the immigrant, difficulties in understanding a new culture, severe economic stress, unfamiliarity with democratic processes, Asian "identity" versus North American "identity" constructs, culturally influenced social relationship patterns and roles of women, and the acceptability of expressing feelings in Asian culture. Nine implications for counseling, which can be extended to the teaching relationship, are presented. (SW)
