Yes I Can, (Si, Yo Puedo) by Catherine Marrs Fuchsel
The Si, Yo Puedo (SYP) curriculum is an 11-week educational program, conducted in Spanish and offered in a group format. Sessions are structured with goals, objectives, in-class self-reflection drawing and writing exercises, and instructions for mental health professionals. The SYP program focuses on education of healthy relationships, domestic violence, and improvement of self-esteem.
Yes, I Can not only provides the steps toward implementation of the intervention but also gives the reader an understanding of all the environmental factors that impact this population and their servicesOverall, the book structure was clear and well conceptualized. The fact that the author shares her Latino experience as an immigrant woman in the United States and recognizes her social location in intersectionality-as a woman, educated, on the side of providing services-not receiving them, and bilingual-provides credibility and assertiveness through her unique position in identifying with some of the characteristics of the target population. The book is well designed for practitioners in social work, psychology, psychiatry, and other mental health professionals by offering an intervention for a population that is underrepresented and lacking a presence in the clinical literature. * Yamile M.
