This is the first international handbook on Black community mental
health, focussing on key issues including stereotypes in Mental
health, misdiagnoses, and inequalities/discrimination around
access, services and provisions. Making use of a cultural
competence framework throughout, the book covers many of the
classic mental health/developmental areas such as schizophrenia,
mental health disorders, ASD and ADHD, but it also looks at more
controversial areas in mental health, like inequalities, racism and
discrimination both in practice and in graduate school training and
the supervisory experiences of black students in universities.
Unique among traditional academic texts addressing mental health,
the book presents rich personal accounts from Black therapists and
students. Many Black students who are training to become therapists
or academics in mental health report negative experiences with
white university staff in terms of a lack of support,
encouragement, resulting in poor graduation outcomes.While
institutional racism is a major issue both in society and
universities, the editors of this Handbook take personal-level
racism, microaggression and everyday racism as better models for
understanding and analysing both these students; racialised
interaction/communication experiences with white staff at
university, as well as the racialised communications and
inequalities in misdiagnoses, access to services and provisions in
healthcare settings with white managers.
