For Mexican Americans, who are both the oldest Latina\/o group in the United States as well as some of the most recent arrivals, perceptions of health and illness often reflect a dual belief system that has not always been incorporated in mental health treatments. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eChicana and Chicano Mental Health\u003c\/i\u003e offers a model to understand and to address the mental health challenges and service disparities affecting Mexican immigrants and Mexican Americans\/Chicanos. Yvette G. Flores, who has more than thirty years of experience as a clinical psychologist, provides in-depth analysis of the major mental health challenges facing these groups: depression; anxiety disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder; substance abuse; and intimate partner violence. Using a life-cycle perspective that incorporates indigenous health beliefs, Flores examines the mental health issues affecting children and adolescents, adult men and women, and elderly Mexican Americans. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough case studies, Flores examines the importance of understanding cultural values, class position, and the gender and sexual roles and expectations Chicanas\/os negotiate, as well as the legacies of migration, transculturation, and multiculturality. \u003ci\u003eChicana and Chicano Mental Health\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book of its kind to embrace both Western and Indigenous perspectives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIdeally suited for students in psychology, social welfare, ethnic studies, and sociology, the book also provides valuable information for mental health professionals who desire a deeper understanding of the needs and strengths of the largest ethnic minority and Hispanic population group in the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yvette G.
