Despite the prevailing narrative of Ayiti being the poorest in the western hemisphere, few published books focus on the psychological effects of poverty on the residents of the country. This books is not meant to be the in and be all but serve to provide an example of one community in the country and the impact of poverty on the residents of that small community. Similar to many countries, Ayiti is very diverse in many elements and thus, it should not be expected that the result of this small town in Haiti is applicable to all parts of Haiti. It is our hope that the information presented will entice more research on this area in different parts of the country with further examining on variables such as age, gender, etc. to illuminate the consequences of poverty on all and develop some clear plan of actions for moving forward. From reading the stories of the individuals in this book, it is clear that something must be done now to eradicate poverty in Ayiti.

La pauvreté extrême affecte l’équilibre psychique des gens vivant dans la précarité. Entre autres, la situation socioéconomique de la population haïtienne a un impact direct sur leur bienêtre psychologique. Ainsi, à travers cet ouvrage, nous allons décrire les différents impacts Psychologiques que l’extrême pauvreté peut entrainer. Nous allons entailler des perspectives sur d’autres possibilités d’étude visant à pallier le présage de cette pauvreté que confronte la population haïtienne et surtout la permettre de se maintenir en bonne santé mentale.
