2001年，有3500万拉丁裔生活在美国。据估计，到2050年，拉美裔美国人口将达到9700万，占美国人口的四分之一，使这一族群成为美国增长最快且很快就会成为最大的族群(美国人口普查局，2001)。这些数字突显了多文化范式转变的必要性，即在心理实践中纳入特定于文化的技能和对文化作出反应的干预措施。拉美裔人作为一个种族/民族群体面临挑战，而传统的欧美治疗模式既不能解决也不能证实这一点。不幸的是，药物滥用对许多拉美裔人来说是一种有目的的功能，是一种逃避与社会、环境和政治结构有关的问题的手段。目前的文章采用Parham(2002)提出的模型作为基于强度的干预治疗框架。以下阶段被概述为与来自所有种族和民族的客户进行大多数治疗接触的基础，这些客户提出了药物滥用问题：治疗联盟建设、文化上适当的评估、社会政治意识和解放、创造协作变化以及解决变化的可持续性。
In 2001, there were 35 million Latinos living in the United States. It is estimated that by 2050 Latinos will comprise 97 million people in the United States, or one-fourth of the U.S. population, establishing this ethnic group as the fastest growing and soon to be largest in the country (U.S. Census Bureau, 2001 ). These numbers highlight the need for a multicultural paradigm shift, or the inclusion of culture-specific skills and culturally responsive interventions in psychological practice. Latinos face challenges as a racial/ethnic group that the traditional Euro-American model of treatment neither addresses nor validates. Unfortunately, substance abuse serves a purposeful function for many Latinos as a means of escape from the problems related to the social, environmental, and political structures. The current article adapts the model set forth by Parham ( 2002 ) as a strength-based therapeutic framework for intervention. The following stages are outlined to serve as the basis for most therapeutic encounters with clients from all racial and ethnic groups presenting with substance abuse problems: therapeutic alliance building, culturally appropriate assessment, sociopolitical awareness and liberation, creating collaborative change, and addressing sustainability of change.
