The purpose of this article is to explore some of the issues associated with conducting psychotherapy with low-income clients. Throughout the article, we draw from our specific clinical experiences working with low-income Latina mothers in a depression prevention program. The themes that we address regarding class and psychotherapy are in the areas of assessment of social class, integration of class issues into the therapy process, and managing differences in social class between therapists and clients. As we discuss these themes, we provide concrete recommendations in order to advance awareness and effectiveness in working with economically disadvantaged populations.
本文的目的是探讨与为低收入客户提供心理治疗相关的一些问题。在整篇文章中，我们借鉴了在一个抑郁症预防项目中与低收入拉丁裔母亲合作的具体临床经验。我们所讨论的关于阶层与心理治疗的主题涉及社会阶层评估、将阶层问题融入治疗过程以及处理治疗师与客户之间的社会阶层差异。在讨论这些主题时，我们提供具体建议，以提高在与经济弱势人群合作时的认知度和有效性。
