The Latino population is the fastest growing group in the United States; thus, it is imperative that social workers and other mental health practitioners be knowledgeable about the current literature on how to effectively serve this population. This article elucidates key issues and knowledge, such as immigration and migration concerns; discusses how to assess for levels of acculturation; examines cultural values; and highlights salient work issues and health disparities that Latinos experience. Recommendations on how agencies and universities can recruit and promote bilingual practitioners are introduced. Finally, culturally responsive strategies for professional use of self and fostering the therapeutic alliance are discussed.

It is important to recognize that Latinos are not a homogenous group. In fact, it can be argued that the very concept of a singular Latino identity or ethnic group affiliation is problematic. A diverse group of national origins is represented by Latinos living in the United States, with the majority of that group being of Mexican origin. Other national origins include Puerto Rico, Cuba, Colombia, and Brazil among many others. The cultural and ethnic backgrounds of Latinos are also diverse and include Spanish, Aztec, Mayan, Incan, and Caribbean. Latinos may be of Native American, white, and African American racial or ethnic background (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2006). Furthermore, within the Spanish language, variation exists in diction, speech patterns, vocabulary, and vernacular usage, each unique to a region of origin. Subtle tones in the voice may have different meanings within different Latino cultures. For example, it is not uncommon in the Puerto Rican culture to speak loudly, and this is often interpreted as yelling by those not familiar with the culture (Cavanagh & López, 2004). An understanding of these differences is extremely relevant to practice work with this population. However, it is also important to understand that there are commonalities amongst many Latinos in the United States.
