Undocumented immigrants from Mexico constitute a vulnerable population that experiences complex, and potentially oppressive, systemic forces in the United States, yet little exists in the psychological literature regarding the experiences of clinicians conducting work with these communities. This study gathered first-person narratives from 12 mental health professionals who work with undocumented immigrants from Mexico in the border states of New Mexico and Texas. The resulting interview transcripts were analyzed using a consensual qualitative research approach. The results of the study highlight clinicians’ perceived strengths and challenges associated with their work and suggest training recommendations for mental health professionals who provide services for this population.

来自墨西哥的无证移民构成了一个弱势群体，他们在美国经历了复杂的、潜在的压迫性、系统性力量，但关于临床医生在这些社区开展工作的经历的心理学文献中几乎没有。这项研究收集了 12 名心理健康专业人员的第一人称叙述，他们在新墨西哥州和德克萨斯州的边境州与来自墨西哥的无证移民一起工作。使用双方同意的定性研究方法分析了由此产生的访谈记录。研究结果突出了临床医生对其工作的感知优势和挑战，并为为该人群提供服务的心理健康专业人员提出了培训建议。
