Latina and Latino Children's Mental Health [2 volumes]

by Francisco A. Villarruel, Natasha J. Cabrera, Hiram E. Fitzgerald

Book Overview

What effect does growing up in an ethnic minority and perhaps in an immigrant family have on development? That is the overarching question Latina and Latino Children's Mental Health sets out to answer. The work examines all of the myriad physical, psychological, social, and environmental factors that undermine or support healthy development in Latino American children, from biology to economics to public policy.
