This study advances knowledge concerning 1.5-and second-generation Indian American women's perspectives and experiences of sexual violence. The findings underscore the complexity of sociocultural context and socialization and their impact on traumatic stress, coping, and help-seeking. They also help in guiding culturally informed interventions with 1.5and second-generation Indian American survivors of sexual violence. www.apa.org/pubs/journals/aap

This article offers an ethical decision-making model, informed by community psychology values, as a means for guiding psychologists when engaging in social justice-oriented work. The applicability of this model is demonstrated through a case analysis elucidating how America's psychologists individually and collectively arrived at the decision to endorse torture-ostensibly as a means for preventing terrorism. Critics have wondered how the American Psychological Association succumbed to these involvements, and how to prevent such ethical lapses in the future. Unfortunately, the American Psychological Association's ethical codes fail to provide explicit guidance for psychologists' involvement in social justice work that impacts communities and systems. To address this gap, we present a values-driven, ethical decision-making framework that may be used to guide psychologists' future practices. This framework infuses fundamental community psychology values (i.e., caring and compassion;health; self-determination and participation, human diversity, social justice; and critical reflexivity) into a 9-step model.

I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who aided and encouraged me in the process of writing this paper. I want to thank Professor Sarah Carney, without whom I could not have accomplished all that I have. Her course, Psychology and the Law, inspired me in the formation of my research question and impacted the course of my life in ways that I cannot yet imagine. I am grateful for the guidance and insight that Sarah contributed to this project. I would also like to acknowledge the tremendous amount of support and encouragement that my wonderful friends provided me with throughout the completion of this paper. Without you all, I would have spent many fewer hours in the library, and this project would have been considerably less enjoyable. Finally, I would like to thank my family for their endless support, their unwavering faith in my abilities, and their unconditional love and their insistence in sleeping with the phone nearby in case I had another thesis disaster. Without you all, I would never have gotten to where I am today.
