The percentage of Hispanic American psychiatrists is even lower. and there are only 13 psychiatrists in the country who are American Indian. A recent survey by the American Psychological Association estimates that of all the doctorallevel health services providers in psychology. 0.9 percent are Black. 0.7 percent are AsiaI. 0.4 percent are Hispanic. and 0.1 percent are American Indian. Seasonal and migrant farmworkers and their families. many of whom belong to racial minorities. represent a population of approximately five million which has been almost completely excluded from mental health care. The constant mobility as they move from place to place in search of work frequently prevents them from obtaining any care. let alone continuity of care. The common bond among these racial and ethnic minority groups is that all encompass people whose basic mental health needs have not been sufficiently understood by those involved in the planning and delivery of mental health services.
