El analisis tematico revelo que los participantes tendian a enfrentar problemas con metodos consistentes con sus practicas religiosas. La mayoria de los participantes, especialmente los de mayor edad, identificaron las practicas religiosas/ espirituales organizadas e informales como metodos importantes y preferidos al manejar la adversidad. Ademas, muchos participantes mostraron preferencias hacia los servicios religiosos que eran consistentes con sus creencias religiosas y complementaban sus formas existentes de lidiar con la adversidad. Finalmente, nuestro estudio indica que habia ideas comunes acerca de las circunstancias en las que los participantes buscan los servicios formales de salud mental, incluyendo sentirse comprendido, el experimentar problemas graves de salud mental, y el enfrentar problemas que se piensa son de origen biologico. Es importante destacar dos factores contextuales que surgieron relevantes para entender estas razones, que los participantes que compartieron estas opiniones tienden a ser mas aculturados y a tener mas educacion formal. Los resultados de este estudio ilustran como la religiosidad esta relacionada con el manejo de problemas y con las actitudes hacia los servicios formales de salud mental entre los Latinos religiosos, asi como la importancia del contexto en la comprension de estos procesos.

T. Vasquez and the APA Presidential Task Force on Immigration released their report, Crossroads: The Psychology of Immigration in the New Century. Vasquez was the first Latina and first woman of color to be president of the American Psychological Association, and we commend her for commissioning this Task Force as part of her presidential initiatives. We also note the contributions of J. Manuel Casas to the report, as he is a member of the National Latina/o Psychological Association. This report is an important step for psychologists as we continue to balance the dialogues and discourse around immigration today in the United States. The report aims to describe the demography and experiences of immigrants and second-generation individuals, and takes a balanced approach in highlighting the strengths of this population and their contributions, as well as identifying key challenges, including issues of xenophobia, discrimination, and educational and clinical service limitations that adequately address their unique needs. The report underscores the importance of social, political, and economic contexts as a backdrop to understanding the challenges of immigrant communities, and provides a framework for reducing the educational, research, and applied disparities within psychology. Although the Task Force’s report focuses on all immigrant communities, this commentary highlights specific aspects that address the processes associated with Latina/o communities, while also identifying specific issues that warrant further consideration.","PeriodicalId":94085,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latina/o psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74169011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
