This book addresses the unique sociocultural and historical systems
of oppression that have alienated African-American and other racial
minority patients within the mental healthcare system. This text
aims to build a novel didactic curriculum addressing racism,
justice, and community mental health as these issues intersect
clinical practice. Unlike any other resource, this guide moves
beyond an exploration of the problem of racism and its detrimental
effects, to a practical, solution-oriented discussion of how to
understand and approach the mental health consequences with a lens
and sensitivity for contemporary justice issues. After establishing
the historical context of racism within organized medicine and
psychiatry, the text boldly examines contemporary issues, including
clinical biases in diagnosis and treatment, addiction and
incarceration, and perspectives on providing psychotherapy to
racial minorities. The text concludes with chapters covering
training and medical education within this sphere, approaches to
supporting patients coping with racism and discrimination, and
strategies for changing institutional practices in mental
healthcare. Written by thought leaders in the field, Racism and
Psychiatry is the only current tool for psychiatrists,
psychologists, administrators, educators, medical students, social
workers, and all clinicians working to treat patients dealing with
issues of racism at the point of mental healthcare.
