Asian American Psychological Association  

Definition

  • The Asian American Psychological Association (AAPA) was founded in 1972 as a group effort spearheaded by a small but dedicated and influential handful of Asian American psychologists such as Derald Sue, Stanley Sue, Roger Lum, Marion Tin Loy, Reiko True, and Tina Yong Yee. What began as informal meetings to stay connected and offer an exchange of information and support among this select group in the San Francisco Bay Area has become a major ethnic minority psychological association with more than 400 members.
