Depression in Latinos

Assessment, Treatment, and Prevention

By: Sergio A. Aguilar-Gaxiola,Thomas P. Gullotta

Depression ranks as a leading mental health problem among Hispanic immigrants and their US-born children. And a wide array of issues - starting with the widespread stereotype of the “illegal immigrant” - makes the Latino experience of this condition differ from that of any other group. Depression in Latinos consolidates the conceptual, diagnostic, and clinical knowledge based on this salient topic, providing coverage from prevalence to prevention, from efficient screening to effective interventions. In this concise yet comprehensive volume, leading clinicians, researchers, and academics offer extensive research and clinical findings, literature reviews (e.g., an in-depth chapter on the Mexican American Prevalence and Services Survey), and insights gathered from first-hand experience in clinical practice. Perceptive information is offered on the most urgent and complex issues on depression in this diverse and dynamic population, including: (1) The impact language, culture, and societal factors have on depression and its diagnosis. (2) The most relevant assessment instruments. (3) How depression manifests among Latino children, youth, and seniors as well as in Latinas. (4) The relationship between depression and substance abuse. (5) The most effective evidence-based treatment methods. (6) The efficacy of interventions for depression at the community level. Depression in Latinos is vital reading for clinicians, counseling and school psychologists, psychiatrists, clinical social workers, and public health professionals interested in providing their Hispanic clients with the most effective treatment possible. In addition, its coverage of the broader issues of access to care makes this volume essential reading for mental health administrators, volunteer/outreach agencies, and policymakers.

The Copyist's Quest

Faith and Courage in the Shadows of the Inquisition

By: Pablo A Aguilar

In a world where the truth is silenced, one young man dares to defy the darkness. "The Copyist's Quest" is a gripping tale of faith, courage, and the unbreakable spirit of those who fight for freedom in the face of oppression. Set against the backdrop of medieval France, the story follows Lucien, a young apprentice baker who becomes entangled in the dangerous world of the Waldensians, a group of Christians who risk their lives to preserve and spread forbidden scriptures. As Lucien navigates the complexities of his family life and his growing curiosity about the Waldensians, he is drawn into a web of secrets, betrayal, and danger. Alongside his newfound friend and ally, Estienne, Lucien must confront the ruthless Inquisition, which will stop at nothing to stamp out any threat to its power. But in the midst of darkness and adversity, he finds his true love, a beacon of hope in treacherous times. Through vivid prose and richly drawn characters, "The Copyist's Quest" explores the depths of the human heart and the lengths to which people will go to protect what they hold most dear. From the hidden sanctuaries of the Illuminated to the blood-soaked battlefield of the Valley of Prali, Lucien and Estienne's journey is a testament to the enduring power of faith, friendship, and the written word. This gripping novel is a must-read for fans of historical fiction, as well as anyone who believes in the power of words, liberty, and the indomitable human spirit. It is a timeless testament to the importance of preserving and defending freedom of conscience, and a reminder that even in the darkest of days, the light of hope and courage can still shine through.

Curriculum Development Guidelines for Piano Teachers

Curriculum Development Guidelines for Piano Teachers

By: Pablo A Aguilar

Music students come with all sorts of skills, likes and abilities, but they share the ultimate goal of learning to play a particular instrument. Teachers also have unique sets of skills, opinions and abilities and most of them have the ultimate goal of teaching students how to play a musical instrument. While variations in students' backgrounds are somewhat unpredictable, teachers most notably differ in pedagogical approaches-primarily in methodologies and philosophies. Regardless of personal preferences, a teacher's methodology and philosophy is synthesized within a general curriculum. A curriculum provides a path for both teachers and students, but since each student is unique, it must be adapted to fit individual needs. For instance, the curriculum for a student that just wants to play pop tunes for fun will be different than the one for a potential concert pianist. Considering those factors, certain questions arise, including: how can music teachers design curricula? How can they select curricular objectives? What is the process of developing a curriculum? Aiming to answer these questions, this book serves as a guideline for curriculum development-specifically, for piano teachers. It synthesizes research in general public education on curriculum development published in the last sixty years in an effort to outline the foundations and principles of curriculum development that apply to music instruction. Another important source for this book is "Thinking as You Play" by S. Coats, published in 2006, particularly for her application and methodology for music instruction.
