抽象的

This study of the socio-cultural, psychological, and religious situation of Hispanic families in the United Staes has implications for pastoral care. There are about 9 million Mexican-Americans and 2 million Puerto Ricans in the US. Both Hispanic groups are at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder, and face discrimination, unemployment, poor housing and low educational achievement. Puerto Ricans on the mainland appear to have a higher incidence of mental illness than Mexican-Americans. Mexican-Americans tend to be more acculturated and live in less stressful conditions than Puerto Ricans. There is a high rate of underutilization of mental health services by Hispanics. The shortage of Hispanic-American priests is an obstacle to strong Hispanic leadership in the Roman Catholic Church. Protestant Hispanics are mostly evangelical in theology and conservative in life-style with little involvement in socio-political action. There are almost no pastoral psychology programs to train Hispanic leaders in pastoral counseling and chaplaincy. The church must work toward better socio-economic conditions for Hispanics and develop programs to train Hispanic leadership.
