Showing results for "The Race" in Psychotherapy

The ability to work with issues of race and intersectionality within psychology is vital. Contributors with experience in counseling psychology and applied psychology from across varied social contexts and professional settings reframe and challenge familiar concepts such as movements to decolonize the curriculum, psychology, and therapy. This book captures the relationship between the ethos of counseling psychology and race, offering a much-needed guide for how to encompass race and racialized experiences in the training and practice of psychology.

If we are to address the injustice of racism, we need to have the "race conversation." All too often, however, attempts at this conversation are met with silence, denial, anger, or hate. This is largely because the construct of race resides not only in our minds, but principally in the body. In order to have productive conversations about race and racism, a paradigm shift is needed—one which will empower us to remain present and embodied, rather than constricted with fear, regardless of our racial identities.

This 2025 audiobook, The Human Condition, by biologist Jeremy Griffith is one of his three most important presentations on the human condition, serving as a powerful short-in-length bridge between the other two — his very short introduction in THE Interview and his comprehensive presentation in FREEDOM. It also takes his human-race-saving insights to a new depth of clarity — so it is a MUST LISTEN!

A child's concept of race is quite different from that of an adult. Young children perceive skin color as magical - even changeable - and are incapable of understanding adult prejudices. Just as children learn to walk and talk, they likewise come to understand race in a series of predictable stages. Based on Marguerite A. Wright's research and clinical experience, I'm Chocolate, You're Vanilla teaches us that the color-blindness of early childhood can, and must, be taken advantage of in order to guide the positive development of a child's self-esteem.
