Cultural Diversity in the Consulting Room Part II:
Psychotherapeutic Considerations When Working with Hispanic/Latino Clients
Bilingualism, Identity, Immigration
The first section of this conference will concern bilingualism in psychotherapy. We will discuss how
language use and language switching is expressive of psychodynamic and interpersonal factors in
treatment. In the second section of this conference, we will discuss how variables such as gender, nationality,
sexual orientation, and immigration history merit attention in the treatment of Latino clients. Clinical implications for
transference and countertransference will be an integral part of these presentations and discussions.

The William Alanson White Institute
The William Alanson White Institute is an internationally renowned, nonprofit psychoanalytic and
psychotherapy center that provides clinical services, advanced professional training, and outreach programs
to New York City and surrounding communities.
Directed by Jorge Bose, the Institute, from its inception, has been attentive to culture as an integral aspect
of psychotherapeutic endeavors, particularly when the therapist and client come from different cultural
backgrounds and experiences. Years before “globalization”—with its increasing contact between people of
different nationalities—became a buzzword, Interpersonal pioneers such as Erich Fromm and Frieda
Fromm-Reichmann were sensitive to the importance of cultural differences in dynamic treatment. These
two founders of the White Institute understood that such sensibility is a requirement for working with
clients from different cultures.
Who should attend: This conference is designed for those who work within the mental health field with
bilingual and bicultural patients. Though the clinical issues discussed will center on psychotherapy with
Hispanic/Latino patients and therapists, the key issues addressed will concern core dynamics regarding the
impact of bilingualism on the therapeutic process, as well as exploration of identity issues, taking into
account key aspects of transference and countertransference patterns in treatment.
