This unique book helps mental health professionals acquire the knowledge, skills, and--most important--the cultural sensitivity necessary for integrating culture-specific treatments (e.g., folk-healing methods) with more traditional interventions (e.g., medication and case management) to achieve successful outcomes for Latino patients.

In Medicalizing Ethnicity, Vilma Santiago-Irizarry shows how commendable intentions can produce unintended consequences. Santiago-Irizarry conducted ethnographic fieldwork in three bilingual, bicultural psychiatric programs for Latino patients at public mental health facilities in New York City. The introduction of "cultural sensitivity" in mental health clinics, she concludes, led doctors to construct essentialized, composite versions of Latino ethnicity in their drive to treat mental illness with sensitivity. The author demonstrates that stressing Latino differences when dealing with patients resulted not in empowerment, as intended, but in the reassertion of Anglo-American standards of behavior in the guise of psychiatric categories by which Latino culture was negatively defined. For instance, doctors routinely translated their patients' beliefs in the Latino religious traditions of espiritismo and Santería into psychiatric terms, thus treating these beliefs as pathologies.Interpreting mental health care through the framework of culture and politics has potent effects on the understanding of "normality" toward which such care aspires. At the core of Medicalizing Ethnicity is the very definition of multiculturalism used by a variety of institutional settings in an attempt to mandate equality.

How can psychology contribute to our understanding of Hispanics in the United States? Edited by Amado M. Padilla, Hispanic Psychology offers students, researchers, and practitioners the most contemporary and complete view of psychological writings available today. The topics tackled by a team of social scientists include adaptation to a new culture in the United States, the role of the family in acculturation, ethnic identification for Hispanics, health and mental health service and research needs of Hispanics, and changing gender roles in Hispanic culture. This volume examines such complex subjects as Chicano male gang members, homeless female AIDS victims, and educational resiliency of students with authority and perceptivity. This book brings together diverse psychological issues that will spark an interest in anyone wishing to have a current perspective on the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States. "Libraries serving graduate students in the areas of psychology, education, child development, or Latino studies should find this book helpful." --Choice "The growing presence and relevance of ethnic and cultural issues in many mental health disciplines has a cogent demonstration in this handsome volume. The strength of this volume is in its well-conceived and realized research studies. Indeed, the "new scholarship" of conceptual models, measurement instruments, and interpretive approaches, drawing heavily on the social context in which Hispanics live, gives this book a prominent place among its peers. This volume will become a landmark in the task of defining the realities and the fate of Hispanics in the United States of the twenty-first century." --Renato D. Alacrón in Transcultural Psychiatric Research Review

Minority groups in the U.S. are at a health disadvantage compared to non-minorities. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (2001) reports that one of the predominant factors altering the health of Latinos are language and cultural barriers. Linguists have begun to address the language and cultural barrier in health care, however the research has strongly focused on studies involving interpreters (Angelelli, 2004; Davidson, 2001) and has neglected the Spanish language interactions of doctor and patient. Further, there is a major research gap on discourse analysis studies of doctor-patient Spanish interactions in the U.S. that reveals what doctor-patient communication looks like explicitly at the language level. With this research gap in mind, the present study aims to investigate the linguistic components of effective communication with Latino patients. For this dissertation I collected psychiatric interviews conducted with Latino patients and a Latino physician in Spanish. From a discourse analysis perspective, I explore the transcultural communication between doctor (a middle-class doctor from Mexico city) and rural Mexican patients living in the Central Valley. The data for the study consists of 23 taped videos of medical interviews conducted in Spanish. These consultations took place via telemedicine and were stored in video for asynchronous consultation with a specialist. In order to analyze the data I draw upon Systemic Functional Linguistics (henceforth, SFL), a social theory of language that considers context at distinct stratified levels: context of culture and context of the situation. On the one hand, context of culture deals with genre as social processes; and on the other hand, context of situation deals with registers composed of the following variables: field (i.e. topic), tenor (i.e. participants), and mode (i.e. from oral to written). Out of all variables possible in an interaction, Halliday proposes that the variables of the register, field, tenor, and mode, are the specific variables that influence the language choices directly. This theoretical framework permits me to analyze the discourse at different levels: from more abstract analysis of genre to register to a detailed analysis of the lexico-grammatical choices made within this register. The two main goals of the dissertation are to provide a description of the language of psychiatric interviews for Spanish in the U.S. and to reveal transcultural strategies that the doctor uses to accommodate to the language and culture of the patients. Specifically, this study probes into: 1) the genres and subgenres that are present in the Spanish psychiatric interview, 2) the types of discursive strategies the doctor employs that are culturally appropriate within this genre, 3) the idiosyncrasies that characterize the register of Spanish psychiatric interviews, 4) how the relationship between the interlocutors in terms of power and solidarity is revealed at the language level, and 5) the culturally embedded lexico-grammatical choices that the doctor makes for demanding information from patients. Overall, this study offers concrete examples of transcultural communication drawn from authentic medical interactions. Revealing explicitly the discourse strategies that the doctor uses in communicating with Latino patients is a first step towards understanding and ameliorating the language and culture problem in health care. These findings aim at providing more information at the level of the language and culture for linguists, practitioners, educators, and interpreters

Depression ranks as a leading mental health problem among Hispanic immigrants and their US-born children. And a wide array of issues - starting with the widespread stereotype of the “illegal immigrant” - makes the Latino experience of this condition differ from that of any other group. Depression in Latinos consolidates the conceptual, diagnostic, and clinical knowledge based on this salient topic, providing coverage from prevalence to prevention, from efficient screening to effective interventions. In this concise yet comprehensive volume, leading clinicians, researchers, and academics offer extensive research and clinical findings, literature reviews (e.g., an in-depth chapter on the Mexican American Prevalence and Services Survey), and insights gathered from first-hand experience in clinical practice. Perceptive information is offered on the most urgent and complex issues on depression in this diverse and dynamic population, including: (1) The impact language, culture, and societal factors have on depression and its diagnosis. (2) The most relevant assessment instruments. (3) How depression manifests among Latino children, youth, and seniors as well as in Latinas. (4) The relationship between depression and substance abuse. (5) The most effective evidence-based treatment methods. (6) The efficacy of interventions for depression at the community level. Depression in Latinos is vital reading for clinicians, counseling and school psychologists, psychiatrists, clinical social workers, and public health professionals interested in providing their Hispanic clients with the most effective treatment possible. In addition, its coverage of the broader issues of access to care makes this volume essential reading for mental health administrators, volunteer/outreach agencies, and policymakers.
