Racial identity theories have been in the psychological literature
for nearly thirty years. Unlike most references to racial identity,
however, Thompson and Carter demonstrate the value of integrating
"RACE" and "IDENTITY" as systematic components of human
functioning. The editors and their contributors show how the
infusion of racial identity theory with other psychological models
can successfully yield more holistic considerations of client
functioning and well-being. Fully respecting the mutual influence
of personal and environmental factors to explanations of individual
and group functioning, they apply complex theoretical notions to
real-life cases in psychological practice.
These authors contend that race is a pervasive and formidable
force in society that affects the development and functioning of
individuals and groups. In a recursive fashion, individuals and
groups influence and, indeed, nurture the notion of race and
societal racism. Arguing that mental health practitioners are in
key, influential positions to pierce this cycle, the authors
provide evidence of how meaningful change can occur when racial
identity theory is integrated into interventions that attempt to
diminish the distress people experience in their lives. The
interventions illustrated in this volume are applied in various
contexts, including psychotherapy and counseling, supervision,
family therapy, support groups, and organizational and
institutional environments.
This book can serve the needs and interests of advanced-level
students and professionals in all mental health fields, as well as
researchers and scholars in such disciplines as organizational
management and forensic psychology. It can also be of value to
anyone interested in the systematic implementation of strategies to
overcome problems of race.
