“…This type of spiritual abuse also includes limiting access to ceremonies and places of worship. Women within abusive relationships described access to church services as a means to gain support for coping with the abuse (Hancock, Ames, & Behnke, 2014). Preventing access then serves as a means for the perpetrator to control his or her partner and limit access to supportive others, but it also impacts an individual's spiritual life.…”

Current definitions of elder abuse and neglect include physical, sexual, financial, emotional, and psychological dimensions. Such definitions overlook the spiritual lives of elders. Acknowledging and understanding spiritual abuse may be incredibly important for Native American Elder communities. Abuse of Native American elders can be detrimental on individual, communal, and cultural levels given that elders possess important cultural knowledge and are considered highly respected within indigenous communities. This article outlines the historical context of spiritual abuse within Native American communities and reviews the spiritual abuse literature in order to develop a culturally appropriate definition of spiritual abuse. Components of spiritual abuse include abuse from a trusted spiritual leader or mentor, limitations of access to sacred objects of ceremonial practice, and contamination of sacred objects or practice. Examples of spiritual abuse components are provided within both Native American spirituality as well as other modes of spiritual practice. Components of this definition can be utilized by health professionals, researchers, and tribal governments intending to develop culturally appropriate responses to elder abuse.

“…Immigrant families in the United States experience a series of external or structural stressors, such as: family networks view the care of children as a shared responsibility (Cardoso, Gomez & Padilla, 2009); poverty, discrimination, linguistic and cultural barriers, and family conflict (Dettlaff, Earner, & Phillips, 2009); living with fear to deportation and losing their children are daily realities that make undocumented women (Hancock, Ames, & Behnke, 2014;Marrs, 2012); others environment determinants like: language barriers, economic distress, experiences with discrimination, and family separation (Holtrop, McNeil, & Scott, 2015); enculturation, and parental separations (Gudino, Nadeem, Kataoka & Lau, 2011).…”

Which was adapted and confirmed byHancock et al (2014) with undocumented immigrant people.…”

The United States has reinforced its anti-immigrant reforms frequently. With these changes in the social and political context, they are a great challenge for this population. Although the immigrant tries to face them, they become toxic stressors for them. Therefore, interactions between parents-children and their family dynamics are affected by stressors associated with the migration process. One of the most worrying is immigrant's emotional health and well-being. There are international reports that refer to the high level of anxiety and depression experienced by immigrants and their families. This could increase the likelihood that children will become to intensify maladaptive behaviors. There are some theoretical models that point to the training of the practices of parents, inserted in the Theory of Learning Social Interaction (SIL) and in an ecological model to benefit the results of the child, the adolescent and the adult from different social roles. Therefore, the methodology about literature review could be one option to manage it. The objective was to identify the strategies reported in the literature to guide and strengthen the practices of the families of Latino immigrants (in particular Mexican families), encouraging a process of learning and training to cope them. This propose is one way to learn to parents, insert them into a community of cohesion, which can teach their children more effectively and they learn to manage the stress for acculturation. Unfortunately, this proposition is theoretical too, although it has evidence of the voices of different investigations done in the last 10 years.Keywords: Emotional-health, Well-being, Immigrants, Program, Model, Literature Review.

“…Clergy have been found to be among the top resources Hispanics report they have used (or would use) if they needed help for a family problem (Bermudez, Kirkpatrick, Hecker, & Torres-Robles, 2010), in case of domestic violence, in particular among women (Hancock, Ames, & Behnke, 2014; Vaaler, 2008) and for substance abuse problems (Perron et al, 2009). Kane & Williams (2000) and Kane (2003) asked subjects whom they would seek help from (nobody, Priest, Priest with helping profession degree or lay professional) regarding 11 moral, emotional, family and personal situations, where one of the situations was “personal alcohol abuse.” In the first study Anglos were found to be more likely to seek help from a layperson credentialed in a helping profession while Hispanics preferred Priests (with or without credentials) in all the situations.…”

Hispanic use ofjuramentosand Roman Catholic Priests as auxiliaries to abstaining from alcohol use/misuse

This self-administered mail survey study conducted along the US-Mexico border replicates and expands on research conducted in Florida regarding the prevalence of juramento use as an intervention technique for alcohol misuse. Juramentos are pledges to abstain from alcohol use for a time determined by the user. The pledge is usually to the Virgin of Guadalupe and is often done in the presence of a Roman Catholic Priest. As in Florida, the majority of Priests along the border reported they were familiar with the practice of juramentos and had already witnessed at least one. The majority of Priests who had done juramentos viewed them as effective. Since the vast majority of Priest indicated that they would begin or continue witnessing juramentos, this makes juramentos and Roman Catholic Priests a viable culturally sensitive aide for treatment among Hispanics, in particular those of Mexican descent.
