“…It involves all of the subequatorial Americas and it is divided from Central America around Panama's Isthmus. South America's first inhabitants arrived possibly from Northeast Asia around 14,000 years ago, and developed civilizations throughout the continent (Moya, 2018). Migratory currents from Europe, mainly Portugal, Spain, France and the Netherlands started arriving on the 18th century, prompted by the gold, silver, and diamonds in our region.…”

South America comprises of heterogeneous topographies, populations, and health care systems. Therefore, it is not surprising to see differences among the countries regarding expertise, education, and practices of ophthalmic genetics for patients with rare eye diseases. Nevertheless, common challenges such as limited genetics training in medical schools and among ophthalmologists, scarcity of diagnostic tools for phenotyping, and expensive genetic testing not covered by the public healthcare systems, are seen in all of them. Here, we provide a detailed report of the current status of ophthalmic genetics, described by the personal views of local ophthalmologists from Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, and Chile. By reporting our strengths and weaknesses as a region, we intend to highlight the need for guidelines on how to manage these patients aligned with public health policies. Our region contributes to research worldwide, with thousands of well diagnosed patients from a number of unique and genetically diverse populations. The constant expansion of ophthalmic genetics and molecular diagnostics requires us to join forces to collaborate across South America and with other countries to improve access to next-generation diagnostics and ultimately improve patient care.

“…In general, it can be concluding, that during the conversion there are shift or identities the convert trying to adapt to the new environment, trying to apply the new beliefs, the new behaviors into his life and into his self is going though different identities [10][11][12]. The counselor can help to guide the new journey but the now the main question is does this religious conversion, this religious identity will be the final and complete self that the person has been always looking for?…”

Counseling psychology is a practice that focuses on how people generally function both personally and in their relationships. It also addresses the emotional, social, work, and physical health concerns people might have. For that reason, counseling psychologists help people with physical, emotional and mental health issues helping to improve their sense of well‐being, relieve feelings of distress and resolve crises. This paper will focus on environment or situational influence of religious conversion into the self-identity of the convert and what kind of skills are needed for the counselor to guide this kind of clients when facing any kind of challenge. The meaning of conversion will be explained, then a relation with selfidentity will be described later on how counselors could approach this kind of people will be recommended

“…In addition, forced migrations from Africa were constitutive of the processes of colonization, and later, of the globalization of capitalist accumulation in the nineteenth century. Later, the arrival of European workers, especially from Italy, Spain, and Portugal, contributed to the formation of labor markets and political and national identities in Argentina, Venezuela, Brazil, and Uruguay (Baily & Miguez, 2003;Moya, 2018). Moya (2018) argues that transcontinental migrations have been central processes in the historical formation of Latin America and contribute to understanding the immense ethnic-racial diversity of the continent and, also, its persistent social inequality.…”

This introduction examines the relationship between new patterns of migration, inequalities, and border controls in present-day South America. It starts with a historical overview of migration patterns in the twentieth century, and then focuses on the multiplication of flows in the past twenty years. A second part discusses the character of new mobility patterns, such as forced, transit, and circular migrations, and their connections with extractive industries, informality, and labor exploitation. Next, it discusses the link between these migration patterns and changes in state migration policies towards border control. The introduction ends with a description of the book chapters.
