Conversationally fluent bilingual Spanish-speaking trainees and clinicians in the mental health professions often provide care to monolingual Spanish-speaking individuals. However, large gaps can exist between conversational and professional language fluency, particularly when providers have received their education/training predominantly in English. This three-part video series aims to address these gaps.
US-born bilingual Spanish-speaking trainees and clinicians may have difficulty conducting psychiatric care or psychotherapy in Spanish because most of their professional education and training is carried out predominantly in English and certain words, phrases, ideas, and cultural concepts are not easily translated from English to Spanish and vice versa. This challenge is often compounded by limited opportunities trainees may have to receive Spanish language-concordant education and supervision.
All videos are in Spanish with subtitles available in both English and Spanish.
The creation of this video series was made possible by an APA SAMHSA Minority Fellowship awarded to Catherine Castro, a Dominican American psychiatry resident at the Columbia Department of Psychiatry/New York State Psychiatric Institute (NYSPI) in collaboration with the Center for Practice Innovations (CPI) and various Columbia faculty with expertise in education, psychotherapy, cultural psychiatry, and providing care to Latinx and Spanish-speaking communities.*
