Assessment, Treatment, and Prevention

This book, Depression in Latinos: Epidemiology, Treatment, and Prevention, edited by Sergio A. Aguilar-Gaxiola and Thomas P. Gullotta, represents the most far-advanced conceptualization of and knowledge about ‘‘depression’’ in the Latino population that resides in the United States. Depression is more than a mental illness that requires prompt and effective clinical treatment; it is a major public health problem for the U.S. Latino as well as the Latin American population.
