Description

In the spring of 1992, the National Institute of Mental Health sponsored a conference at which a multidisciplinary panel of distinguished experts delivered theoretical and conceptual papers addressing the theme of "Hispanic Mental Health Research: A State of the Art Review." Their contributions are elaborated in this volume, representing the fields of psychology, psychiatry, anthropology, and epidemiology. These chapters focus on research issues in two broad areas: cross-cultural and acculturative issues in mental health, and culture in mental health evaluation and treatment. Acculturation is discussed as a psychological process involving cognitive, attitude, and behavior change. Acculturatively induced stress is linked to the development of anxiety, depression, and alcohol/substance abuse. The later chapters turn directly to the relevance of culture and acculturation to mental health services, including the diagnosis of psychiatric disorders, the manifestation of symptomatology, and the effectiveness of psychotherapeutic interventions.
