Produktbeschreibung

Add to your knowledge of Latino/Hispanic diversity, attitudes, behaviors, and experiences to provide more effective services!Latino-Hispanic Liaisons and Visions for Human Behavior in the Social Environment dispels pervasive historical and contemporary misconceptions and inaccuracies and highlights the diversity of Latino/Hispanic experiences to help you provide more effective services to those clients. As editors Torres and Rivera point out, Literature on Latinos/Hispanics reflects a dysfunctional and myopic cultural view in which they are often depicted in stereotypic characteristics and as a homogenous population.In Latino-Hispanic Liaisons and Visions for Human Behavior in the Social Environment, you'll find chapters examining:

• the social ecology of Mexican-American child development
• caregiver well-being among Cuban and Puerto Rican mothers of mentally retarded adults
• the adjustment process among Cuban refugee families
• one Southwestern community's efforts to create a multiethnic neighborhood coalition against substance abuse
• a study of changes related to migration, family, and work in Caribbean women's lives
• and much more!
