Product Description
Product Description
This is a new text intended to assist family therapy students and professionals in their understanding of issues that impact clinical treatment of Hispanic Americans. The emphasis of the text is on the diversity of the people who make up the fabric of what is commonly referred to as “Latino culture.” The term “Hispanic” and “Latino” are used interchangeably in the text to refer to descendants of people whose primary language is Spanish or Portuguese. Most of the chapter contributors are Hispanic or bicultural, and contribute their own personal stories to enhance their narratives.
The text includes coverage of interventions, identity formation of men and women in the Hispanic culture, demographics, and specific information on health care, spirituality, and other issues that affect Hispanic family life. The authors say, “Recognizing differences that count and developing that essential curiosity about the experience of another is at the heart of each author's therapeutic approach.”

nice subject, very predictible book
6 July 2002
Format:Paperback
This is an anthology that deals with offering therapy to Latino family members. It's nice, but you can guess everything they discuss. Like all Latino studies books, they spend numerous pages bringing up Latino diversity. Like all books on providing therapy to a minority group, there's discussion about the dynamics between minority client and majority therapist. The standout chapter in this book is one about Latino masculinity, by Dr. Bacigalupe: excellent! This book makes little mention about gay Latinos or those in interracial couples. Like the editors, co-authors often have one Spanish last name and one English one; this makes me think that this was a joint Latino and Anglo project. Yes, therapists, across the races, of Latino clients may want to own this book. Still, you already know what half the book will say without even opening it.
