(2015). Challenging the Status Quo: A Review on Second-Generation Latinos Joining American

Mainstream.

The study explains the lives of second-generation Latinos born in U.S and their views of

achieving traditional assimilation in the United States. It is also well known that data collected

on economics, social and cultural and civic participation patterns among Hispanic identify the

fundamental steps that are being achieved among the Latinos and their off springs.

Acculturalization is the most significant challenge for Latino-Americans as they move from

adolescent stage to young adults. The second generations Latinos are young group and the

studies that project a stagnant or downward path of incorporation are premature. They also create

a stigma that negatively labels Latinos, who are a large part of America’s future. It is so

unfortunate to torture such young age generation by being subjected to severe psychological

suffering. The text is relevant to the study since it highlights the challenges that the Latino

immigrants undergo.

It is well known that political conflict contributes a lot to refugee creation. The forced

migration and cultural transitions that people are subjected to require a long period of time for

any human being to settle and adapt to the new changes. There is great impending danger when a

person does not get prompt assistance from senior counsellors or a therapist. The matter can get

out of control and subject a person to severe psychological problem which may lead to madness.

counselling services in the culturally diverse communities can be of great help in solving the

challenge. It is important to understand that together with contribution of diverse cultural

heritage, there is always adoption of a world view of events/things.

conducting their work in a sensitive and informed manner. It offers a very powerful challenge for

its ability to show commitment to honor uniqueness and sensitivity of cultural, racial, spiritual

and ethnic differences that are exhibited by clients in a multicultural society. The text is

important to any immigrant since it covers areas such as implications of identity development for

therapeutic work ethnic matching of clients and the therapists working with interpreters and bi-

cultural workers in order to overcome racism, discrimination and oppression within the

counselling process.

emotional-focused therapy. It is important to understand the context in which the immigrants can

as well provide solutions to challenges that they may encounter concerning the new cultural

practices.

Muntigl, P. (2014). Narrative counselling: Social and linguistic processes of change.

Amsterdam: John Benjamins Pub

The text provides us with insight on counselling interactions especially when there is a

change of environment . Counselling is a process that needs to be practiced more often. The text

not only provides linguistics and discourse analysts but also provides knowledge and guidance to

researchers and practioners in the field of psychology, medicine and psychotherapy. It is

therefore important to note that people tend to behave differently when in a new environment. It

is the mandate of psychologists to assist those facing new environmental challenges.

What Doesn't?. Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, 9, 4, 397-41

It is clear that immigrant families are linked to distinctive patterns of communication

between adolescents and their parents as well as their peers. The familism cultural value is

something that the Mexicans have preserved for a very long time. Familism have an adverse

effect on late life. It deters members to freely socialize and hence making it hard for the

immigrants to understand each other.
