Description

The purpose of this course is helping students become better equipped in understanding the factors that influence the psychological experiences of Latino families in the U.S. Students will be introduced to the skills necessary to provide clinical work to Latino families and couples. To this end, a number of relevant topics will be examined, including immigration, acculturation, ethnic identity, stereotypes and discrimination. The readings encompass many Latino ethnic groups, but they are not representative of all Latino families residing in the U.S. Students will explore and practice all aspects of treatment. (New course Fall 2015.)
