流行病学研究表明，拉美裔人对社区精神卫生设施的利用与其需求不成比例，而且往往未能从传统的心理治疗服务中受益。本研究调查了对西班牙文化敏感的模型治疗的有效性。在一种模式中，来自波多黎各文化的民间故事被用来呈现适应性行为模式，而在另一种模式中，民间故事被用来弥合波多黎各人的双文化冲突。高风险儿童（从幼儿园到三年级，N= 210）及其母亲被随机分配接受治疗、传统治疗或不接受治疗。结果表明，与传统治疗和不干预相比，cuento治疗显著降低了儿童的特质焦虑，并且这种趋势在1年内保持稳定。该方法还提高了韦氏儿童智力量表（WISC-R）的理解子测试分数，并降低了观察者评价的攻击性。讨论了发展和评估西班牙裔患者文化敏感治疗模式的必要性。
Epidemiological studies indicate that Hispanics underutilize community mental health facilities in proportion to their needs and often fail to benefit from traditional psychotherapeutic services. This study investigated the effectiveness of a modeling therapy designed to be sensitive to Hispanic culture. In one version of the modality, cuentos (folktales) from Puerto Rican culture were used to present models of adaptive behavior and in another version folktales were tailored to bridge Puerto Ricans’ bicultural conflict. High risk children (from kindergarten through third grade, N= 210) and their mothers were randomly assigned to receive either cuento therapy, traditional therapy, or no therapy. Results indicated that cuento therapy significantly reduced children’s trait anxiety relative to traditional therapy and to no intervention, and that this trend was stable over 1 year. The cuento modalities also increased Wechsler Intelligence Scale For Children-Revised (WISC-R) Comprehension subtest scores and decreased observer-rated aggression. The need to develop and evaluate culturally sensitive therapeutic modalities for Hispanics is discussed.
