- Summary:
- 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. The book can aid clinicians in learning to appreciate the importance of language, culture, religion, gender, sexual orientation, race, and ethnicity in psychiatric evaluation and care.
