Resiliencia
En las últimas cuatro o cinco décadas y por una variedad de razones, la palabra “Resiliencia” y su serie de significados en diversos terrenos del ser y el quehacer humano, han ido adquiriendo creciente reconocimiento e importancia. Puede decirse que, hoy en día, Resiliencia es materia de discusión e investigaciones en ciencias naturales, sociales y biológicas y, ciertamente, en los campos de medicina y salud (Sivak, 2018b; Southwick et al., 2023)…
Modismos de distrés
El enfoque sociocultural de todo tipo de psicopatologías ha ampliado indudablemente sus alcances a nivel global en las últimas tres o cuatro décadas (Bhugra y Bhui, 2007; Alarcón, 2019). La evidencia se percibe claramente en la descripción y narrativa clínica, el enfoque nosológico, búsqueda y elaboraciones diagnósticas y manejo terapéutico (Herschell et al., 2010; Morgan y Bhugra, 2010; Hansen et al., 2013; Truong et al., 2014). Desde la perspec…
Salud mental en el adulto mayor
Numerous biological, psychological, and social factors influence the mental health of elderly individuals to varying degrees. Apart from components related to the normal aging process and the co-occurrence of various medical conditions, events such as the death of a loved one, retirement, or disability significantly contribute to a variety of mental and emotional problems in this stage of the life cycle. The most frequent problems affect the neur…

Improving mental and neurological health research in Latin America
Fulfillment of these recommendations would increase research production in MN health in Latin American countries. This, in turn, will raise the profile of these health problems, and consequently will underscore the need of continued high-quality and relevant research, thus fostering a virtuous cycle in the decision-making process to improve MN health care
When the Poetry No Longer Rhymes
To identify and explore cultural dynamics influencing the psychiatric care of immigrant Somalis in the USA, we reviewed demographic data from Minnesota Departments of Human Services, and interviewed health professionals, exploring community perceptions of medical/psychiatric needs, cultural characteristics, barriers to care, and potential solutions. An informal survey of 37 members of the Mayo Clinic Department of Psychiatry and Psychology, to de…
Ethnic conflict and the psychology of liberation in Guatemala, Peru, and Puerto Rico
Ethnic conflict and the psychology of liberation in Guatemala, Peru, and Puerto Rico
Ethnic identity and conflict in Guatemala, Peru, and Puerto Rico are complexly embedded within dynamic systems of class- and race-based geopolitics. Whereas overt violence and terror have permeated both Guatemalan and Peruvian societies, overt conflict has undermined Puerto Rican nationhood. Despite similarities among these 3 countries of Hispano-America, there are important particularities that inform psychological theory and practice. This arti…

Personality disorders and culture
This article reviews the basic concepts surrounding the clinical relationships between culture and personality disorders (PDs). Culture plays a significant role in the construction of self-concept and self-image, the egocentric/sociocentric dichotomy, and the determination of biases in the clinical study of PDs. Cultural contextualization is, therefore, crucial in the demarcation between normal and abnormal personalities. From a clinical perspect…
