Spanish for Mental Health Professionals by Deborah Bender,Christina A. Harlan,Linda K. Ko,Irwin Stern Pdf

This book is similar in design to other books in the Paso a Paso Series for Health Care Professionals. This package is specifically for mental health workers attempting to break through language and cultural barriers between English- and Spanish- speaking participants. The suggested application is a small group setting in the workplace in which a fluent Spanish speaker serves as a facilitator at one-hour sessions held once a week. The learner is expected to work daily on exercises and practice listening and responding to the accompanying audio files. The premise is that the beginning learner will not be alone in a situation where a conversation is beyond their ability but will be part of a team and will acquire greater competency through active, on-the-job speaking and listening. All too often non-English-speaking newcomers are isolated, separated from the family support systems they once enjoyed in their native countries. They are overwhelmed and don't realize assistance is available to address the depression, anger, and frustration they are feeling. This handbook will help mental health and social workers reach across language barriers to help their clients.

Toolkit for Counseling Spanish-Speaking Clients by Lorraine T. Benuto Pdf

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.

Spanish Mental Health Glossary by Cross-Cultural Healthcare Program Pdf

This Spanish-English bilingual mental health glossary was developed to support the many dedicated individuals around the country who provide interpretation services to limited English-speaking patients in health care and social services settings. In a field where misinterpretation and misunderstanding can be serious and even fatal, finding the "right words" to interpret or translate in mental health terminology is a tremendous challenge. We hope this glossary helps in that valuable work.The terms and phrases included here range from very technical psychosocial terms, such as "echolalia," to less technical but equally challenging terms to translate, such as "intake screening." This glossary is not definitive; it is only intended to provide a foundation in mental health terminology.Each term or phrase in the glossary is accompanied by an English definition. Each definition captures the meaning and use of a word or phrase in a psychosocial context. These definitions were reviewed and edited by mental health professionals.
