McCullagh, J., & Gray, J. S. (2018). Cognitive Behavioral Models, Measures, and Treatments for Anxiety Disorders in American Indians and Alaska Natives. 

Abstract

Anxiety disorders experienced by American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN), and the various factors that contribute to these disorders among AI/ANs, cannot be fully understood without also understanding the broader historical context of AI/ANs. The multitude of challenges that perpetuate mental health issues in AI/ANs, as well the many barriers to mental health care access, highlight the need to better understand and treat mental health issues in AI/AN populations. This chapter reviews the literature on anxiety treatments for AI/ANs and provides recommendations for adapting treatments for these clients. It describes the impact of acculturation on the assessment and treatment of anxiety disorders among American Indians and Alaska Natives. The chapter presents cognitive behavioral models and treatments for anxiety disorders in American Indians and Alaska Natives. Finally, it discusses the future of cognitive behavioral models, methods, and treatments for anxiety disorders in American Indians and Alaska Natives.
