Description
Being White in the Helping Professions: Developing Effective Intercultural Awareness
This reflective and practical book challenges white helping professionals to acknowledge their own cultural identity and its impact when working in multicultural environments. Judy Ryde explores how white people often benefit from unconscious advantages and privileges, which can hinder effective practice.
She offers a model for 'white awareness' and provides concrete examples from her own experience, as well as advice on implementing white awareness training within an organization. This book is essential reading for students and practitioners in the helping professions, including social workers, psychotherapists, psychologists, counsellors, healthcare workers, occupational therapists and alternative health practitioners.
