RESUMEN
 
Given the growing linguistic diversity in the United States, many practicing psychologists will work with foreign
language interpreters. However, few clinicians receive formal training in providing interpreter-aided psychological
services. By federal law (88th Congress, 1964; PL-88-352), psychologists or their agencies are responsible for
providing interpreter services. To maintain a patient-centered, rather than interpreter-centered dialogue,
psychologists should initiate pre- and postsessions to orient the interpreter to the pending encounter, clarify
expectations, and discuss cultural issues. Psychological testing, diagnostic interviewing, crisis intervention, family,
child, and individual adult therapy present distinct challenges when an interpreter is involved. Mental health is a
specialized area requiring advanced interpreter knowledge and skills. According to the American Psychological
Association's (2002) "Ethical Principles," psychologists are responsible for ensuring that interpreters demonstrate
competence and professionalism. Because there are relatively few interpreters trained specifically for mental
health practice, psychologists and health care institutions may need to assist in providing specialized interpreter
education. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
