Filling a gap in the current literature, Latinx Healing Practices:
Psychospiritual Counseling Interventions convenes the voices of
Latinx psychologists and Indigenous spirituality practitioners to
provide future and current mental health professionals with a
greater understanding of Latinx spirituality, healing traditions,
worldviews, and experiences. Armed with this knowledge, readers are
equipped to provide their clients with counseling and interventions
that are at once culturally aware and highly effective. Section I
provides an overview of specific healing practices, with emphasis
on the practice of prayer, and the role of visionary experience
within Latinx spirituality. Section II features personal,
narrative, and qualitative stories of transformation, including
stories of collaboration between curanderas/os and
psychotherapists, Mexican migrant farmworkers' narratives on
adversity, spirituality, and coping, and more. Section III
addresses ethical standards, the importance of inclusion of Latinx
spiritual models of practice when preparing professional
counselors, and recommendations for the integration of spirituality
and applied practice in education and training. Latinx Healing
Practices: Psychospiritual Counseling Interventions is part of the
Cognella Series on Advances in Culture, Race, and Ethnicity. The
series, co-sponsored by Division 45 of the American Psychological
Association, addresses critical and emerging issues within culture,
race, and ethnic studies, as well as specific topics among key
ethnocultural groups.
