From the Paper:
"Recent upheavals in war-torn El Salvador and Guatemala and the depressed economy in Mexico have driven thousands of refugees from their home countries. A vast number of these families have immigrated to the United States, bearing the scars of war and economic hardships. Consequently, many of these present-day immigrants are currently suffering from emotional and psychological problems. Often these problems are the primary root of daily stresses and social problems, which have lead to difficulties in social adjustments."Cite this Research Paper:
