Abstract
This article discusses the devastating impact that problem drinking and alcoholism have on immigrant Latinos and their families. A parallel process of the progression of deteriorating cultural values due to immigrational stressors and alcoholism is identified. This process continues as clinicians treat two and three generations of alcohol/drug addiction and co-dependency. A culturally Sensitive Assessment Model that can be integrated in the treatment of individuals, families and groups is also developed. A case example is discussed.
