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 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
The Asian American population is increasing rapidly and, not
unpredictably, so are its mental health needs. A number of cultural
factors and stressors common to Asian Americans pose obstacles to
the successful employment of Western psychotherapy approaches and
counseling---for example, the central role of the family in Asian
life and the culturally based, traditional stigma associated with
mental health problems. The authors, all practicing
psychotherapists, focus on the critical aspects of transference and
empathy in their consideration of the mental health approaches and
therapies appropriate to ethnic minority population.
The work has value as a resource for professionals and as a
training guide for those intending to practice as psychotherapists
and counselors in minority communities. It offers extraordinary
insights and practical guidance through the use of case studies.
Not only do these identify problems stemming from the racial
differences between client and therapist, but they also provide
rich clinical examples of case diagnosis, treatment plans, and
client status statements. This is an important book that will
further both the theory and practice of psychotherapy among
minority populations.
This challenging and insightful work wrestles with the difficult
treatment problems confronting both culturally and socially
oppressed clients and psychotherapists in a society where diversity
has often been resisted. The authors question long-held assumptions
within the profession and urge recognition of new ethnic, racial,
and gender realities which significantly impact therapies.
Recognizing the implications of cultural diversity in the society,
the authors-clinicians seek to broaden health professionals'
awareness of clients' needs and to promote the requisite empathy.
They describe how ethnic, racial, and gender issues affect
psychotherapy's progress and outcomes. Specific concerns about such
key factors as self-esteem, gender roles, and social regard are
addressed in a context supportive of diversity enhancement rather
than one seeking uniformity. Case studies offer highly valuable
resource material and, through the authors' explication, insights
into their challenging perspectives on this highly important health
service.
This book addresses the major problems of leadership in groups,
organizations, and societies in the twenty-first century, when
rapid change, complex dilemmas, and earth-shattering consequences
affect the daily lives of people in the diverse contexts of social
institutions, the corporate world, domestic politics, and
international terrorism and conflict. The volume convenes a group
of distinguished scholars, consultants, and leaders who address
significant contemporary dilemmas that test the skills and
knowledge of all concerned individuals. Benjamin Disraeli said, "I
am their leader; therefore I must follow them." This book speaks
directly to that intimate connection between leaders and followers.
The organizing principle of the book is a 'group systems'
understanding of leadership further elaborated through the
relational and intersubjective concepts emerging in the fields of
counseling, dynamic psychiatry, and psychotherapy. This
interdisciplinary approach both complements and contrasts with the
traditional understanding of leadership based on the dynamics of
individual and collective self-interest.

An updated and condensed version of the landmark work on the
psychological impact of prejudice and discrimination. Spanning four
volumes, the first edition of The Psychology of Prejudice and
Discrimination provided a much-needed cornerstone work on one of
the most crucial issues in the United States today. This updated
and condensed edition of the award-winning set is a streamlined yet
rich and insightful look at the mechanisms of prejudice and
discrimination in practice. Editor Jean Chin and contributors from
across the nation offer insight into how discrimination in American
society is rationalized and enacted, as well as how it is
experienced by diverse groups. Coverage goes beyond racism to
include sexism and the plight of LGBTQ youths, as well as people
with disabilities. Updates include a new introduction and
conclusion presenting developments, successes, and failures in
fighting prejudice and discrimination since the original set was
published. 17 contributors bring diverse and differing perspectives
on prejudice and discrimination Each chapter concludes with a
"Toolbox for Change" section, which proposes strategies for
eliminating prejudice and discrimination
As the number of people of color rapidly grows within the US
population, health providers in these communities have become
increasingly aware of the need to address the concerns and problems
particular to each group. It's also become clear that as the
delivery of our health care systems evolve, a new approach must be
summoned to build systems both cost-effective and socially
responsible.
Community Health Psychology offers a new and different perspective
for redressing the gaps in our systems of care. The authors contend
that in order to begin an attempt at eradicating the more
intractable societal problems, health providers need to tailor
themselves to a more culturally competent approach, which addresses
all members of a community they claim to serve.
Although leadership theories have evolved to reflect changing
social contexts, they remain silent on issues of equity, diversity,
and social justice. Diversity and Leadership offers a new paradigm
for examining leadership by bringing together two domains-research
on leadership and research on diversity-to challenge existing
notions of leadership and move toward a diverse and global view of
society and its institutions. This compelling book delivers an
approach to leadership that is inclusive, promotes access for
diverse leaders, and addresses barriers that narrowly confine our
perceptions and expectations of leaders. Redefining leadership as
global and diverse, the authors impart new understanding of who our
leaders are, the process of communication, exchange between leaders
and their members, criteria for selecting, training, and evaluating
leaders in the 21st century, and the organizational and societal
contexts in which leadership is exercised.
Global and Culturally Diverse Leaders and Leadership explores
diverse cultural leadership styles and paradigms that are dynamic,
complex, globally authentic and culturally competent for the 21st
century. An outstanding group of scholars considers how the
different worldviews and lived experiences of leaders influence
their leadership styles. They discuss several dimensions, models
and initiatives for examining leadership in a global and diverse
world, ultimately offering ways in which these leadership processes
may be assessed and cultivated in a culturally sensitive and
ecologically valid manner. Redefining leadership as global and
diverse, this book imparts a new understanding of the criteria for
selecting, training and evaluating leaders in the 21st century.
The editor of the award-winning, four-volume Praeger set The
Psychology of Prejudice and Discrimination brings her team back
together to take a comprehensive look at the flip side of the
issue—diversity. The importance of understanding, supporting, and
acting to encourage cultural diversity across social,
psychological, political, legal, career, and educational avenues is
addressed in this one-stop source for the latest research,
developments, and updates. Social privilege for certain groups, the
oppression of others, and methods to teach diversity necessary for
our future are all addressed. Contributors, from psychologists to
educators to social workers, also take a close look at programs
spurring success in diversity in the United States and globally.
This dynamic, revealing work demonstrates that we must expand—and
are expanding—our definition of diversity to include, not only
race and ethnicity, but also sexual orientation, religion, and
disability. The challenge for those who want a society that honors
all is to establish equity for all. While full victory in that
challenge has been slow to come, Diversity in Mind and in Action
makes it clear that there are success stories to be shared—and
new avenues to be spotlighted.
