Providing in-depth coverage of the Mexican American population from social, cultural, and psychological (clinical) perspectives, this book promotes the understanding of cultural practices and sociological characteristics of this important ethnic group. There are now more than 32 million Mexican Americans living in the United States. As a result, the odds that a clinician will work with a member of this population—one of the fastest-growing minority groups in the United States—is extremely high. Understanding the culture, society, psyche, acculturation, assimilation, and linguistics specific to Mexican Americans, as well as their crises and appropriate interventions, is imperative to provide counseling/therapy services and culturally sensitive assessments. In this book, author Mario Tovar explains how Mexican American history and society affects the needs of this group and how services to Mexican Americans require adjustments as a result. Tovar documents significant differences among Mexican Americans depending on whether they are documented or undocumented immigrants, and on their place of origin—rural versus urban areas of Mexico, and northern versus southern Mexico, for example. Readers will understand how the region of the United States in which Mexican Americans settle can influence the development of certain traits for them and learn about mental and physical health care practices common to Mexican Americans, including folk medicine and "healers" who often include grandmothers and elder neighbors.

This chapter provides an overview of research on acculturation and mental health in multicultural individuals. The principle frameworks of acculturation are reviewed and distinctions are drawn between the acculturation experiences of immigrants and refugees. This chapter also highlights various methodological considerations relevant to the assessment of acculturation and reviews existing acculturation measures developed with Latinos, Asian Americans, African Americans, and American Indians. Research examining the relationships between acculturation and mental health with emphasis placed on Latino and Asian American populations are presented. This chapter concludes with recommendations for future acculturation research and underscores areas in need of additional empirical inquiry.

This book explores the complex relationships among ethnicity, acculturation, and assimilation. In the process of setting forth the first empirical measures of what it means to be a Chicano, the authors overturn many previous research assumptions and conclusions.
