Is our society color-blind? Trans-racial? Post-racial? And what-if
anything-should this mean to professionals in clinical practice
with diverse clients? The ambitious volume The Concept of Race and
Psychotherapy probes these questions, compelling readers to look
differently at their clients (and themselves), and offering a
practical framework for more effective therapy. By tracing the
racial "folk taxonomies" of eight cultures in the Americas and the
Caribbean, the author elegantly defines race as a fluid construct,
dependent on local social, political, and historical context for
meaning but meaningless in the face of science. This innovative
perspective informs the rest of the book, which addresses commonly
held assumptions about problem behavior and the desire to change,
and presents a social-science-based therapy model, applicable to a
wide range of current approaches, that emphasizes both cultural
patterns and client uniqueness. Among the highlights of the
coverage: Common elements in therapy and healing across cultures.
The psychological appeal of racial concepts despite scientific
evidence to the contrary. Lessons psychology can learn from
anthropology. Three types of therapeutic relationships, with
strategies for working effectively in each. The phenomenon of
discontinuous change in brief therapy. Solution-focused therapy
from a cross-cultural perspective. Thought-provoking reading for
psychologists, psychiatrists, clinical social workers, and other
mental health professionals as well as graduate students in these
fields, The Concept of Race and Psychotherapy affirms the
individuality-and the interconnectedness-of every client.
