Inequities still exist in today's society, and this book advances
awareness, an equitable mindset, and transformative change toward
the goal of eliminating inequities and promoting inclusiveness and
social justice. Racialized inequity is injustice or unfairness and
exists when prejudice or discrimination based on any aspect of
difference precludes access of certain groups to the resources and
benefits of society. This volume takes a new look at the psychology
of inequity today. Have we progressed or regressed since the height
of the civil rights movement of the 1960s? Through an examination
of the motivations and beliefs behind inequities and injustices,
this text aims to answer this question and any others that a
scholar or general reader interested in social inequities and
multiculturalism may have. Chapters address the motives that
sustain inequity and reflect on the beliefs and behaviors linked to
implicit responses to threats of change and loss of privilege posed
by the inclusion of "others." Includes cutting-edge scholarship
addressing racial inequities Provides contemporary examples of
racial inequity viewed through new psychological lenses Reviews the
intersection of racial, economic, and mental health inequity among
BIPOC citizens Addresses contemporary expressions of privilege and
their relationships to social inequities Introduces
transformational approaches to improving education and health care
This book views responses to the Covid 19 virus through the lens of
indigenous thinking which sheds light on some of the failures in
dealing with the pandemic. Colonial societies maintain beliefs that
hierarchies are part of the natural order, and that certain people
are entitled to privileges that others are not. These hierarchies
have contributed to racism as well as health, and wealth
disparities that have increased vulnerabilities to the virus.
Indigenous societies, on the other hand, view individuals as
interdependent, and hold an optimistic view that this tragedy can
yield important lessons for future improvement. This book examines
the legacy of colonial societies in contributing to existing
vulnerabilities, and incorporates an indigenous perspective in
re-imagining the problem and its solutions.
This book presents cutting edge conceptualizations of the
psychological challenges of inequity and engages the audience in
examining the global nature of inequity and how it psychologically
impacts human beings across both space and time. The Psychology of
Inequity: Global Issues and Perspectives examines the psychological
consequences of inequity beyond the borders of the United States
and other western nations. Inequity does not end at national
borders; it is a global problem that reflects the interdependent
nature of our planetary existence. This book advances our
understanding of psychological inequity as a global problem
requiring global solutions. The volume approaches its topic from
many angles, moving from a discussion of the psychological concerns
of specific groups-from targets of racism and sexism to the plights
of migrants, refugees, and immigrants-to large scale global
inequities and their psychological consequences, such as
educational inequities and climate change. An excellent
introduction to decolonized psychology on an international scale,
this book will benefit anyone interested in learning more about
promoting global equity in psychologically healthy and culturally
appropriate ways. Examines how to address the mental health
concerns of a rapidly growing refugee, migrant, and immigrant
population globally Addresses global trends in inequity that have
broad psychological consequences internationally Discusses the
relationship of inequities to global climate change and widespread
environmental degradation and proposes sustainable solutions
Includes suggestions for progressive action, such as how
decolonizing education may contribute to reducing inequities
globally
Explains Native American psychology and how its unique perspectives
on mind and behavior can bring a focus to better heal individual,
social, and global disorders. Psychology is a relatively new
discipline, with foundations formed narrowly and near-exclusively
by white, European males. But in this increasingly diverse nation
and world, those foundations filled with implicit bias are too
narrow to best help our people and society, says author Arthur
Blume, a fellow of the American Psychological Association.
According to Blume, a narrowly based perspective prevents
"out-of-the-box" thinking, research, and treatment that could well
power greater healing and avoidance of disorders. In this text,
Blume explains the Native American perspective on psychology,
detailing why that needs to be incorporated as a new model for this
field. A Native American psychologist, he contrasts the original
culture of psychology's creators-as it includes individualism,
autonomy, independence, and hierarchal relationships-with that of
Native Americans in the context of communalism, interdependence,
earth-centeredness, and egalitarianism. As Blume explains,
psychological happiness is redefined by the reality of our
interdependence rather than materialism and individualism, and how
we do things becomes as important as what we accomplish. Includes a
glossary of Native American concepts and terms Explains the
Indigenous American view of creation as community, humans' place in
the social order as one of equal partnership, and the importance of
connection to the earth, relationships, spirituality, sacredness,
and the place of cultural humility Describes cultural myths that
permeate contemporary psychology Details how the vestiges of
colonialism traumatized people, contributed to health disparities,
and left people divided, in addition to damaging the planet
Illustrates how oppression victimizes both oppressor and the
oppressed

Indigenous Relapse Prevention: Sustaining Recovery in Native
American Communities combines the resilient strengths of Indigenous
cultural beliefs and practices with empirically supported methods
to help readers better understand and address relapse processes.
The text recognizes that mainstream relapse prevention programs
must be adapted to better serve American Indian and Alaska Native
clients. It leverages the Indigenist Relapse Prevention Model to
offer a strengths-based, culturally grounded treatment model that
assists individuals in overcoming threats to recovery. The model
addresses Indigenous-specific issues related to substance use and
recovery that are frequently not addressed in other programs, such
as triggers related to racism, lateral violence, and
intergenerational trauma. The program reflects an Indigenous
worldview, emphasizes the role of spirituality in wellness, and is
intended to restore balance and harmony in the lives of clients
through an appreciation of the sacredness of Creation and self.
Indigenous Relapse Prevention is part of the Cognella Series on
Advances in Culture, Race, and Ethnicity. The series, co-sponsored
by Division 45 of the American Psychological Association, addresses
critical and emerging issues within culture, race, and ethnic
studies, as well as specific topics among key ethnocultural groups.
Offering fresh and exciting approaches to solving global problems,
this book creatively views challenging social issues through the
lens of racial and ethnic psychology. As the demographic makeup of
the American population continues to evolve, understanding and
addressing the psychological needs of ethnic minorities in the
United States becomes more important to the overall health and
well-being of society. This three-volume set is the first
publication to explicitly tackle social issues from the perspective
of racial and ethnic psychology. It uniquely presents racial and
ethnic psychological perspectives on topics such as media, criminal
justice, racism, climate change, gender bias, and health and mental
health disparities. Volume one introduces readers to the basic
scientific concepts of racial and ethnic minority psychology and
then examines the intersectionality of race, ethnicity, gender, and
sexual orientation. It also addresses how race and ethnicity affect
communication styles, leadership styles, and media. The second
volume discusses the experiences of individuals within racial and
ethnic minorities, including overt racism, covert racism, and
colonialism, and addresses how ethnic minority psychology plays a
role in our educational system, poverty, global climate change, and
sustainability. The third volume covers ethics in health and
research, considers the causes of health and mental health
disparities, and identifies diversity initiatives that can improve
the health and well-being of all citizens, not just racial and
ethnic minority citizens. Utilizes concepts of racial and ethnic
minority psychology to address important issues of the 21st
century, offering unique insights into the nature of today's
real-world problems Presents racial and ethnic psychological
perspectives on topics such as media, the criminal justice system,
sexual orientation, poverty, climate change, and sustainability
Provides much-needed alternative perspectives on human behavior
other than the theories, systems, and practices that are largely
derived from Anglo-American research using white subjects
