Full Description
As the fastest growing population in education, economics, entrepreneurship, and international travel, Black women are forging a world of their own. They are breaking generational cycles, reinventing social norms, and developing new identities. However, as a double marginalized minority, Black women are also navigating power structures and socially constructed ideas of race, oppression, and privilege. They deserve a safe, therapeutic space for processing these experiences. Yet many well-intentioned clinicians are lacking the skills and knowledge to properly support, guide, and develop inquiries with these clients.
In this book, clinicians will find foundational information on the types of experiences that cause many Black women to seek therapy and ways to support them on their therapeutic journey. Case studies illustrate how issues unique to Black women may present in the therapy room, while catalyst questions provide a jumping-off point for transformative lines of inquiry with Black women clients.
