Puerto Rico is a non-incorporated territory that belongs to the
United States of America since the US military invasion of Puerto
Rico in 1898. With these 108 years of colonization by the United
States plus the 405 years of colonization by Spain, Puerto Rico is
entitled to be called The World's Oldest Colony in present times.
This is a fact that is not well known to the U.S. population and
surprisingly, not by many Puerto Ricans either. This book addresses
this problem. What is different about this writing is that its
presents a Puerto Rican psychiatrist's view of this problem. After
working for the past thirty three years as a practicing general
Community Psychiatrist in Puerto Rico and in New Bedford,
Massachusetts, I have collected very detailed observations about
the personalities of my patients who are mostly Puerto Ricans. I
have discovered a personality style unique to this population: The
Colonized Personality. This book is addressed to the general
educated population, both in Puerto Rico and in the United States
of America, that have interest in Puerto Rican affairs. The book is
divided into seven sections. 1.Preface. Here I define from where
the idea of talking about the Puerto Rican personality originated.
It also describes my prejudices and how I will detail the
personality traits. 2.Introduction. This section is a description
of the process of my personal and professional experiences that led
me to discover the colonized personality. 3.Chapter One. This first
chapter describes the colonized personality disorder. 4.Chapter
Two. In this chapter there is a description of how the colonized
personality has defined the social organization of the Puerto Rican
population. 5.Chapter Three. This chapter presents and details the
evaluation scale for defining the colonized personality. 6.Chapter
Four. This chapter is a description of the differences between a
colonized personality and a non-colonized personality.
7.Predictions. In this last section I formulate hypotheses of
Puerto Ricans' future behavior regarding the political status based
on the colonized personality.
