title: Complementary spiritual beliefs in the Latino community: the interface with psychotherapy.
abstract: A model involving a dynamic spectrum of belief by Latinos in the spiritual traditions of Santeria and Espiritismo is proposed as replacement for the more static prevalence model. The issue of clinical responsiveness to such material is examined and illustrated, and implications for research and practice are discussed.
