• Sommario/riassunto: This book offers a unique glimpse into the world of culturally diverse psychotherapists by exploring the professional experiences of Latino clinicians. Through their narratives, these therapists provide distinct and essential case studies that emphasize the significance of their identities as catalysts for transformation within the field of mental health. Rich with real-world examples, this book captures pivotal moments in the lives of these therapists, presented in narrative or testimonio formats. By incorporating these personal experiences, the book contributes significantly to the processes of decolonization and the re-centering of power within marginalized communities. It acknowledges the complex dynamics these individuals navigate as they interact with various systems, offering fertile ground for growth and change. These clinicians represent a range of identities, including first-generation immigrants, individuals from low socioeconomic backgrounds, first-generation college attendees, Latinx individuals, bilingual practitioners, and those with bicultural backgrounds.
