Thanks to our founder and first Chair, Dr. Israel Cuellar. Dr. Cuellar, a renowned Chicano research psychologist, directed the Julian Samora Research Institute at Michigan State University 2001-2003, and he was director of one of the nation’s first culturally responsive treatment units for Hispanics at the San Antonio State Hospital 1977-1984. His accomplishments include the development of acculturation scales for assessing multicultural integration, which have been used as scale models in Australia, Israel, Germany and Spain, and the co-edited Handbook of Multicultural Mental Health. His research added to the understanding of how ethnic identity and acculturation relate to mental health and to the numerous ways culture and language influence diagnosis and treatment.
