Children of South Sea Island Immigrants to Australia
Social-delinquent problem youth of South Sea Island immigrant to Australia parents, were compared to non-problem youth from the same circumstances, on family, sociocultural, personality, and substance abuse variables. Interviews and testing were done by members of their own community. A consistent pattern of differences most pronounced for males was found between the two groups although not all reached statistical significance. The problem youth …
Counselor Training as a Treatment for Alcoholism
Extensive harmful drinking of alcohol is a major problem for many groups of Australian Aborigines and western treatment approaches have had limited effect. In order to stress cultural factors in treatment, a program to train indigenous Aborigines as alcoholism counselors for their communities was developed. In its more than 10 years of existence 145 counselors have been graduated. Of those initially entering the two year program 60% have graduate…
An indigenous community mental health service on the Tohono O'odham (Papago) Indian reservation
The status of a fully indigenous mental health program serviced and controlled by the Tohono O'odham (Papago) Indian tribe is reviewed from the perspective of its 17-year history. The program functions in large measure in a crisis intervention model, with suicidal or acutely disturbed cases being most frequent. However, a whole range of disorders and ages are seen. Traditional Medicine Men and Women are often used as consultants, as are some prof…

Developmental Differences in Infants and Policy on Undocumented Mexican American Parents
The development of United States citizen infants with undocumented alien parents (UDOC, N = 24) was compared with the development of infants with documented alien or Hispanic American parents (DOC, N = 47). To assess the developmental differences, a closed-end demographic and environmental variab-le questionnaire and the Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID) were used. Most of the demographic and environmental variables which could have infl…

Psychopathology, Treatment Outcome and Attitude Toward Mental Illness in Mexican American and European Patients
Lower socio-economic European American and Mexican American psychiatric in- patients were compared on degree of psychopathology, response to treatment and attitude toward mental illness and hospitalization. The Mexican American patients were proportionately under-represented, but did not differ from the European Americans in degree of psychopathology at admission nor in response to treatment — both groups showing a high degree of improvement by b…
Wife beating and cultural context
Wife beating is generally condemned in Western society, but may be viewed differently by other cultures. The frequency of battered women in a small urban Australian Aboriginal population was studied through reports of indigenous paraprofessional behavioral health workers of the community. The findings indicated battering was a regular, routine occurrence not only of women referred for mental health problems, but for women of the entire community.…
How Fair Is the Culture I.Q. Test
If a measure of intelligence is culturally biased it is assumed that disadvantaged individuals will score lower on it than on a less biased instrument. The Cattell purports to be 'culture fair' and it was compared to the WISC with a delinquent juvenile population, controlling for both order effects and individual administration. The results reveal consistently lower mean I.Q. scores for the Cattell under all conditions. The Cattell appears to be …
Factors associated with number of treatment interviews of patients from a barrio neighborhood mental health service
Demographic and treatment variables were, for a second time, found associated with number of treatment interviews completed by lower socioeconomic patients of a barrio area neighborhood mental health service. Of the eight variables that originally differentiated patients with respect to number of interviews, six remained significant on cross-validation. The longer staying patients were characterized by: young adult age range; disrupted marital st…
Factors Associated With Length of Treatment in a Barrio-Neighbourhood Mental Health Service
Factors which discriminae between lower socio-economic largely Mexican- Americans who continue in treatment for few interviews, from those who continue longer were investigated. Demographic and treatment data were obtained from 356 consecutive cases. The factors which significantly differentiate short from long treatment contact patients were : self-referral, age, marital instability, and complaints of anxiety, depression, social or family incomp…
Developing a rural Mental Health Service from a base in an academic clinical psychology program
The development of a Community Mental Health Service for a multiethnic rural area by an academic psychology department clinical program was carried out for the purpose of providing relevant training for grauate students through realistic service functions. The population served was largely lower socioeconomic, and the available resources very limited. The Community Psychology course was used to assist the planning and negotiating for the clinic. …
The Papago Psychology Service
A community psychology service run by the Papago Indian tribe and staffed largely by Papago Indians who have been trained as mental health workers is described. This service is unique among mental health services for Indians in that the tribe has complete control of the funds for the service and sets its own policies. It was developed for a rather traditional Indian group, and the culture, the traditions, and the wishes of the Papago community we…
