An Analysis of Culturalism in Latino Mental Health: Folk Medicine as a Case in Point

University of Massachusetts

This paper examines the cultural perspective often advocated by Latino mental health workers and identifies some of its limiting aspects. Particular attention is given to folk healing practices as reflecting the current culturalist perspective in order to put in focus its limitations and strengths, and to offer an alternative conceptualization. This analysis is informed by a critical perspective which pursues an examination of a given reality in order to demystify its structure and identify its underlying and interconnected elements.
