{"product_id":"9781440854897","title":"Latina\/o American Health and Mental Health : Practices and Challenges (Race, Ethnicity, Culture, and Health)","description":"\u003cp\u003eEssential reading for health and mental health administrators, community agencies, and policy makers as well as students and general interest readers, this book details the state of the physical and mental health of many Latina\/o American groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Latina\/o Americans originate from more than 25 countries, most health or mental health texts largely focus on Mexican Americans and often fail to address other Latina\/o groups, such as South Americans, Central Americans, Puerto Ricans, and others. Moreover, most works address either health or mental health, but not both together. In contrast, Latina\/o American Health and Mental Health addresses both the health and mental health of diverse Latina\/o heritage groups. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn interdisciplinary approach enables readers to identify both similar and divergent areas that affect the health and mental health of Latina\/o Americans. Strengths-based and social justice perspectives, rather than a deficit perspective, guide the work in its assessment of disparities among treatment for different groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis text is ideal for graduate students, practitioners, researchers, and policy makers in public health, community health, family studies, psychology, counseling, social work, and Latina\/o studies who are interested in understanding Latina\/o health and mental health in the United States and providing culturally responsive services.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Praeger Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42773166391371,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":2852.26,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/0023\/7387\/files\/9781440854897-1.jpg?v=1783437236","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.co.th\/products\/9781440854897","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Thailand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
