| Summary |
"The American Latino: Psychodynamic Perspectives on Culture and Mental Health Issues focuses on the culture of the Hispanic population in the United States and seeks to replace stereotypes with portrayals based on factual information. The scope of the material covered is vast and includes the topics of ethnic identity, gender roles, religion and spirituality, family resilience, and the joys and sufferings of leading a bicultural life. Opening with a thorough survey of Latin American immigration tot eh United States and closing with an illustration-rich discourse on being a Hispanic American psychotherapist in this country, this book deals with both normative and psychopathological realms. Help-seeking patterns, vulnerability of some Hispanic youth to drugs and gang-related affiliations, and the fine technical adjustments involved in conducting psychotherapy with individuals of this growing subpopulation are elucidated with great compassion and empathy."--Back cover. |
