@article{827574, author = {Benuto, Lorraine T.,}, url = {http://library.usi.edu/record/827574}, title = {Toolkit for counseling Spanish-speaking clients : enhancing behavioral health services /}, abstract = {This timely practical reference addresses the lack of Spanish-language resources for mental health professionals to use with their Latino clients. Geared toward both English- and Spanish-speaking practitioners in a variety of settings, this volume is designed to minimize misunderstandings between the clinician and client, and with that the possibility of inaccurate diagnosis and/or ineffective treatment. Coverage for each topic features a discussion of cultural considerations, guidelines for evidence-based best practices, a review of available findings, a treatment plan, plus clinical tools and client handouts, homework sheets, worksheets, and other materials. Chapters span a wide range of disorders and problems over the life-course, and include reproducible resources for: · Assessing for race-based trauma. · Using behavioral activation and cognitive interventions to treat depression among Latinos. · Treating aggression, substance use, abuse, and dependence among Latino Adults. · Treating behavioral problems among Latino adolescents. · Treating anxiety among Latino children. · Working with Latino couples. · Restoring legal competency with Latinos. The Toolkit for Counseling Spanish-Speaking Clients fills a glaring need in behavioral service delivery, offering health psychologists, social workers, clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists, and other helping professionals culturally-relevant support for working with this under-served population. The materials included here are an important step toward dismantling barriers to mental health care.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-64880-4}, recid = {827574}, pages = {1 online resource (xiii, 538 pages) }, }
