“…It is notable that DASS-21 has not been used in experimental studies with Latinos in which the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in anxiety disorders has been evaluated [ 50 ]. Nor was the use of DASS-21 identified in randomized studies conducted in Puerto Rico until 2015 [ 51 ].…”

The main purpose of this research was to examine the construct validity of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS-21) in order to determine whether it is able to adequately discriminate between symptoms of depression and anxiety in the Hispanic population in Puerto Rico. This study has an instrumental design. A total of 1073 Hispanics participated in this psychometric study. The results showed that the DASS-21 has serious psychometric deficiencies, especially related to the construct validity, as well as convergent and discriminatory validity. In addition, it was shown that DASS-21 do not replicate the three-dimensional structure of the original instrument in the Hispanic community. Finally, it was confirmed that the DASS-21 have difficulty in properly identifying and discriminating between symptoms associated with depression and anxiety in a Hispanic population.

“…In Chang et al's (2018) volume regarding Latinx populations, Ngo and Miranda (2018) wrote about CBT for depression, Bernal et al (2018) discussed anxiety disorders, and Cardemil et al (2018) considered stress disorders. Specific to the literature on depression and Latin Americans, Ngo and Miranda (2018) reviewed the research on assessment tools and CBT.…”

“…They concluded that the growing research indicates that CBT is an effective treatment for depression among diverse Latinx populations. Bernal et al (2018) examined the literature regarding evidence to support CBT to treat anxiety in Latinx. They discussed the impact of culture, language, cultural adaptation, and the accessibility of evidence-based treatments for anxiety for Latinx populations.…”

Ethnic Minority Cultural Adaptations of Cognitive Behavioral TherapyA little over 20 years ago, during the "second wave" of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), when prominent cognitive and behavior therapists were embracing the merging of the two approaches into a comprehensive CBT, I was a new psychologist interested in the role of ethnicity in therapy. During that time, I commented on the lack of inclusion of ethnicity as an integral component of behavior therapy and discussed why it was important to include discussions of cultural diversity in treatment and research, including positive implications for making such a commitment (Iwamasa, 1996(Iwamasa, , 1997(Iwamasa, , 1999Iwamasa & Smith, 1996). Fast forward to the end of 2018 as I write this chapter, and the CBT literature reflects that some CBT researchers, scholars, and practitioners have committed to ensuring the applicability of CBT for people of color.Currently, there exist several books (including a new one from this author referenced later in this chapter), chapters, and empirical articles that focus on cultural adaptations of CBT for various ethnic minority populations. It is beyond the scope of this chapter to succinctly summarize this entire literature. Instead, this chapter highlights the overarching issue of adapting CBT for ethnic minority populations including the ethics of being culturally competent, summarizes the types of cultural adaptations to CBT, includes recent references for readers to consult regarding CBT with specific ethnic minority populations in the United States, and finally suggests areas of exploration for future work on adapting CBT for ethnic minority populations.

“…Still, the overall research on Latinx children and families according to Bernal and Rodriguez (2009) was less than 0.005% of the publications in this area, an alarming fact given that Latinx are the largest ethnic minority in the US. Additionally, reviews of research in cognitive behavioral modalities aimed at addressing anxiety (Bernal et al 2018), stress (Cardemil et al 2018), and depression (Ngo and Miranda 2018) found a corresponding low level of research focusing on Latinx, and these are even lower for Spanish-speaking Latinx. Therefore, a sense of racism and exclusion is compounded by the fact that psychotherapeutic model efficacy-models that were created predominantly by White European Americans-is validated by research done on that same population.…”

The mental health system in the United States faces challenges in adequately engaging the Latinx population with modalities that conform to the Latinx worldview, which demands incorporating holistic, family-centric, and trauma-informed models of treatment. Service provision and innovation is hampered by lack of research focusing on this population, the low numbers of Latinx clinicians available, and the lack of treatment adaptations to meet their needs. Psychotherapeutic interventions employed in the Latin American context are potentially useful when working with acculturating Latinx. In this article attention is given to barriers and facilitators for incorporating Family constellation therapy—a holistic trauma-informed treatment modality that offers conflict resolution through connection with ancestry.
