abstract="TOPIC: There are a number of culture-bound syndromes in the literature that may directly impact on clients' systems of meaning and, thus, the clinician's ability to effectively intervene. This applies to Hispanic/Latino children, particularly those who present with anxiety and somatic symptoms. PURPOSE: This case study deals with a 14-year-old Hispanic girl who presented at a behavioral health clinic with anxiety behaviors. SOURCES: Review of the literature and case example from practice. CONCLUSION: Since culture can have a profound influence on a child's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, nurses' cultural understanding is critical in psychiatric diagnostic evaluation and treatment.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
