“…Another limitation of this case study is that no psychological screeners were administered to help determine the severity and frequency of symptoms specific to anxiety or depression. In part, this was due to the limited research that has been done to validate these measures on Spanish-speaking patients, as well as the utility of these measures beyond the research setting (Sanchez & Shallcross, 2012). For this case, session ratings ( MyOutcomes ), self-reported improvement, and clinical judgment helped evaluate Mr. Lopez’s general functioning and level of interference across the course of therapy.…”

To foster engagement in treatment and improve therapeutic outcomes for immigrant clients, it is important for therapists to integrate cultural values and to recognize the psychological stressors faced as immigrants learn to adapt and assimilate changes associated with moving to a new country. This case study describes the integration of cultural values when working with immigrant Latino clients who are at an increased risk of experiencing acculturative stress as a result of moving to the United States and having limited English knowledge. The integration of cultural values of familismo and personalismo are also discussed as it related to case conceptualization and treatment process. Finally, the current case provides information about conducting therapy in two languages and transitioning from Spanish to English as part of acculturation process while also addressing multifaceted aspects involved when working with Latino clients.

Ataques de nervios ( ADN ) is a culture‐bound syndrome whose name translates literally as attack of the nerves . The most common symptoms of ADN include uncontrollable shouting, attacks of crying, trembling, and heat in the chest that rises into the head. ADN is common in Hispanic countries, with a lifetime prevalence among adults in Puerto Rico estimated to range from 16% to 23% and an even higher prevalence in clinical settings (roughly 70%). Between 9% and 26% of Island Puerto Rican children in community and clinical settings, respectively, are also estimated to have ADN . ADN is often comorbid with other psychiatric conditions, such as anxiety and depressive disorders, and with somatic illness.

Ataque de nervios is a Latina/o idiom of distress that may occur as a culturally sanctioned response to acute stressful experiences, particularly relating to grief, threat, family conflict, and a breakdown in social networks. The contextual factors associated with ataque de nervios have received little attention in research. This study examined the association between neighborhood factors and the experience of ataque de nervios among a sample of Latinas/os participating in the Latino Health and Well-Being Project in the northeastern United States. We examined the association between neighborhood cohesion, safety, trust, and violence and ataque de nervios. In multivariate logistic regression models, neighborhood violence was associated with ataque de nervios ( p = .02), with each unit increase in the neighborhood violence scale being associated with 1.36 times greater odds of experiencing ataque de nervios. None of the other neighborhood variables were significantly associated with ataque de nervios. The positive association between neighborhood violence and the experience of ataque de nervios makes a further case for policy efforts and other investments to reduce neighborhood violence.
