Racial Trauma in Black Clients: Effective Practice for Clinicians (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781462556595)

Understanding and addressing the impact of racial trauma is vital for providing culturally responsive, trauma-informed care. This book explores how racial stressors affect all aspects of Black clients' lives and offers powerful ways to support healing. Therapists and counselors will gain tools for approaching--rather than avoiding--the topic of race in individual therapy and in family, school, and community contexts. The book discusses how to incorporate aspects of racial trauma into assessment and case conceptualization; validate clients' pain as well as their strengths; and adapt evidence-based treatments to overcome cultural gaps. It presents extensive case examples; dos and don'ts; and self-care strategies for therapists of any background. Instructive features include end-of-chapter takeaway points, bolded key terms, and an end-of-book glossary.
