Abstract
This article attempts to integrate findings in the following areas: the acculturation and biculturalism processes of Mexican Americans, the measurement and assessment of acculturalism and biculturalism, and possible relationships between acculturation of Mexican Americans and rehabilitation practice. Acculturation can be behavioral, psychological, and/or sociocultural and is generally thought of as the acquisition of a second culture. Implications for rehabilitation practice are given.
