“…In addition, only a small minority of women ( n = 4) preferred group therapy. Despite some evidence that group therapy is culturally congruent with collectivist worldviews common among Latinx adults (Lombana, 2021), quantitative data support Latinas’ preference for individual therapy during perinatal period (Goodman, 2009) suggesting that clinical factors (i.e., comfort disclosing emotions) and developmental period ought to be considered when designing intervention studies for Latinx individuals.…”

Objective: Exposure therapy is the frontline treatment for anxiety among adults but is underutilized during pregnancy. We qualitatively assess the prospective acceptability of exposure therapy among pregnant Latinas with elevated anxiety, a group that experiences mental health disparities. Method: Pregnant Latinas (N = 25) with elevated anxiety were interviewed regarding their acceptability of exposure therapy following the receipt of an informational clinical video vignette. Interviews were analyzed using deductive content analysis guided by the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability to understand pregnant Latinas' views about exposure therapy. Results: Nineteen themes were identified across seven theoretically driven subdomains of acceptability. Women expressed acceptability enhancing factors for exposure therapy including feeling hopeful about its effects, a belief that treatment could benefit their broader family, and a preference for treatment during pregnancy as opposed to the postpartum period. Women also expressed challenges to exposure therapy acceptability such as managing family reactions to prenatal psychotherapy, conflict with cultural conceptions of the maternal role, and perceived difficulty using exposure for avoidance related to prenatal health. Conclusion: Identified themes provide insights about exposure acceptability among pregnant women and can be used to bettter engage Latinas in anxiety interventions, ultimately improving clinical outcomes. Public Significance StatementProactive exploration of women's beliefs regarding a psychotherapy's effect on her baby, family, cultural context, and the development of her maternal role, can improve acceptability.

The terms religion and spirituality are used interchangeably and often shown as symbols of strength, resiliency, and resistance among Latinxs with intersecting identities who are impacted by various forms of oppression in their daily lives. The authors will explore the shifts that have taken place in the Latinx population, moving away from predominantly Catholic practices and returning to practices pre-colonization and more Spiritual practices. The authors will weave intersectionality throughout this chapter, highlighting the diversity that exists within the Latinx community, focusing on cultural strengths, resiliency, and decolonization. The chapter will focus on central aspects of spirituality that include the return to indigenous healing practices, coping, and recommendations and implications focused on training through a multicultural lens and highlighting the strengths and growth areas of available interventions and research.
