Research Interests
Culture and Health
Culture is developmentally biological. Each healthy human brain born today could be nurtured into any culture, learn any language, receive any religion. The language(s) we learn, and the culture(s) we integrate are mediated by our interpersonal relationships across the lifespan.
The foundation of Dr. Milstein’s work is the study of how beliefs are imbued in us through our cultural milieus. His bilingual (Spanish & English) research follows three paths:
Religion and Mental Health:
Implement prevention science models to facilitate the continuity of mental health care, through collaboration between clergy and clinicians.Immigration & Psychological Resilience:
Identify variables that promote resiliency, in response to the developmental disruptions caused by migration.Culture Ontogeny:
Through interpersonal relationships the abstract ideas that are culture become material in the neurophysiology of the developing human brain.
