Working with Vulnerable Populations: Final Reflections and Implications

Although complex and multifactorial, vulnerability reflects various trajectories with manifold implications, three primary dimensions of vulnerability—physical, psychological, and social—have been depicted across this book from a non-Western framework to accurately depict specific characteristics, interventions, and practices across multiple groups and contexts. Our authors have placed at the center of vulnerability research the perspectives and voices of those deemed vulnerable and potential stakeholders, such as practitioners and service managers, enlightening policy and practice shortcomings and biases to be addressed. Thus, after analyzing the edited collection and the work of our contributors, we seek to critically contribute to vulnerability research with an intersectionality lens so that vulnerability and vulnerability groups in low- and middle-income countries or emerging and developing countries are reframed seeking to respond appropriately and have a positive impact that will help build more just, inclusive, equitable, and diverse contemporary societies. ©The authors ©Springer

Violence and Its Associated Psychosocial Factors in Mexican Homeless Females
(Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024)
Castaños-Cervantes, Susana
Violence in Mexican homeless females has not been addressed. This study examined the differences in several psychosocial factors associated with violence among a group of 240 Mexican homeless females selected non-randomly. The main results showed that homeless female victims of physical or sexual violence presented a lower level of subjective well-being compared to victims of psychological violence, who instead exhibited a higher index of depression. These findings indicate that intervention strategies must focus on psychosocial factors linked to specific forms of violence in homeless females so they can achieve a healthier developmental trajectory and a higher quality of life. ©The author. ©Springer

Psychosocial Predictors of Suicide Risk in Medical Students
(Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024)
Domínguez-González, Alejandro Daniel
;
Castaños-Cervantes, Susana
In Mexico, suicides occur every 90 min. It ranks second among 15–19-year-olds and fifth among 10–14-year-olds, underlining the need for targeted prevention strategies. Both practicing doctors and medical students are among the groups with the highest risk of suicide. The results of our path model analysis of suicide risk show that depression and emotional dysregulation are key predictors of suicide risk. Early detection and care programs should be implemented for students with this mental disorder. In Mexican medical male students, interventions must include techniques to address the emotional dysregulation strategy of denial, while in females they should also incorporate the emotional dysregulation strategy of suppression. ©The authors ©Springer.

Understudied Populations Within the Sexual Assault Literature
(Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024)
Reitz-Krueger, Cristina L.

Guarnera, Lucy A.

Castaños-Cervantes, Susana
This chapter explores the often-overlooked subpopulations within the domain of sexual assault, shedding light on the experiences of women who conceive in rape, homeless female youth, and male college students. Despite the extensive research attention directed toward sexual violence, these groups have received comparatively less empirical investigation, leaving significant gaps in understanding and intervention. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and recent research findings, this chapter illuminates the distinct vulnerabilities, challenges, and consequences faced by each understudied population. ©The ahuthors ©Spring.

Working with Vulnerable Populations : A Multicultural Perspective

This book explores vulnerability in many forms and among diverse understudied vulnerable populations worldwide from different perspectives, particularly from non-western contexts. It examines characteristics and profiles of vulnerable populations, intervention strategies, and recommendations for public policy actions in developing and emerging countries. As the world becomes increasingly connected and localities become more diverse, researchers and practitioners working to ameliorate human suffering cannot rely on one-size-fits-all solutions, especially when it comes to the most vulnerable members of society. The book argues the need for interdisciplinary research and action, and it challenges popular discourse on vulnerable groups and intervention strategies in Western societies and developed countries. In particular, it includes a Latin American perspective seldom considered in research about vulnerability worldwide. With interdisciplinary contributors from four continents, working in diverse fields such as social psychology, pedagogy, community psychology, medicine, sociology, clinical psychology, anthropology, and social work, this edited collection brings together theoretical and applied research evidence on three vulnerable population categories: physical vulnerability, psychological vulnerability, and social vulnerability. The book not only presents exhaustive solutions to any of the problems discussed therein, but it also offers examples of the considerations that should be afforded when working with groups who have unique vulnerabilities. ©The authors ©Springer
