Learn to identify and combat unintentional and overt racism This provocative book identifies and addresses racism in mental health and educational settings, providing proven strategies for overcoming this stubborn barrier to culturally competent practice. While addressing overt forms of racism, the book also explores and sensitizes practitioners to covert and unintentional forms of racism that may be equally detrimental in denying persons of color access to unbiased, high-quality education and mental health care. Despite the dismantling of overt racist policies, such as segregated schooling, and the implementation of policies aimed at remedying racial inequities, such as affirmative action, racism continues to persist in American society. Drs. Madonna Constantine and Derald Wing Sue, two of the leading researchers and advocates for multicultural competence, have collected sixteen thought-provoking and challenging chapters on the many ways that racism can affect a practitioner's interactions in mental health and school settings. These contributions collectively bring to the forefront highly charged issues that need to be discussed, but are too often hidden away. The book is divided into four parts: What Do We Know about Racism? Racism in Mental Health Contexts Racism in Educational Settings Eradicating Racism: Future Directions Faced with the responsibility of understanding multiple oppressions and the intersections of racism with sexism, classism, and heterosexism, mental health practitioners and educators must be vigilant of their personal role in perpetuating racism. This collected work will help you identify forms of racism, both within yourself and the systems you work in, and then implement strategies to eliminate them.

In this enlightening book, women of color eloquently and honestly articulate the impact of racism, sexism, and poverty on their personal lives and on the histories of their people. They express anger at the failure of traditional psychiatry and psychology--which tend to advocate assimilation, meaning the denial of one's cultural and historical identity--to understand the struggles and problems in their lives. The contributors to The Psychopathology of Everyday Racism and Sexism--who come from both inside and outside the psychological disciplines--examine newer therapies in which women are encouraged to identify and express emotional reactions to other people, racism, and abuse and to expose the humiliation they feel. These new therapeutic processes--representing a milestone in psychological theory and practice--help women of color develop their historical identity and reject socially-induced shame and degredation. The editor of this vital book is Lenora Fulani, a developmental psychologist and an active political leader. Dr. Fulani explores how a lack of power over one's life and deprivation of a sense of oneself as historical are commonly associated with psychological problems. The added stress of low social status, sexual exploitation, poverty, abuse, and drug and alcohol problems, result in an enormous sense of failure and incredible vulnerability to emotional stress. With passion and compassion, The Psychopathology of Everyday Racism and Sexism advocates an empowering sense of community based on the power of and love for the oppressed.

There are several debates in reference to, the definitions of mental health and its contributory factors on black people’s life. There is also conflicting views by several authors and their failure to recognised cultural differences and the need for inclusion of black people’s experiences in research, while a majority of people from different background, ethnicity, and gender differentiation appears to be making more use of mental health provisions. These concerns are examined through an approach that brought to the fore experiences of black women that have gone unnoticed; it’s like a nation without a history. Yet there are factors that are of great significance in understanding major obstacles that are known to be an historical factor in the life and in understanding of black women’s experiences. The life history of black women in Britain, the paucity of literature on black related issues, and the negative impact of racism, and social Darwinism of marginalism on black women’s life comes with other social issues. The fact that black women still occupy denigrated roles and responsibility in a country where there has been much debates on equality of opportunities. Yet, equal access to training, housing and many other factors comes at a cost on black people’s every day experience. Women are especially at risks from poor mental health compounded by other multi-layered factors. Such is inclusive of the lack of prestigious occupation associated with unequal access toward promotion. Certainly, these multifaceted realities can affect their performance in compromised to their health and ability to withstand negative influences. This title ‘Teetering on the Edge’ attempts to improve upon the lack of resources on the experiences and historical account of black women of Caribbean descent in Britain and the direct results of their insurmountable experiences inclusive of the impact of injustices on related issues of health. The uniqueness of this book seeks to make known these issues and to address the paucity of black women life experience from an historical perspective and the challenges of negatives that impacted their life and health in heightening public awareness of these issues.

Misdiagnosis of African American Clients: Racial and Ethnic Bias in Mental Health Treatment not only reviews the institutions of racism and sexism into American culture, but the book also reviews classic sociological studies from the 1950s to 2000 and researchers' own skepticism of results due to possible biases based on race, ethnic background, gender and social class differences. Taking the reader through compelling case compilations, Ms. Nickens shows how counseling experiences can be influenced by prejudicial beliefs or institutional policies from clinical, judicial and educational organizations. With a sense of compassion, she allows readers to understand the impact institutional racism has on our society and offers compelling suggestions on how both clinicians and consumers of behavioral health services can stop this process from occurring.

Using a race, gender, and social-class context, this volume challenges the traditional notions of mental health and mental illness as they apply to African American women. The authors show that African American women are at increased risk for psychological distress because of factors that disproportionately affect them, including lower incomes, greater poverty and unemployment, unmarried motherhood, racism, and poor physical health.
