Description
Therapy in Colour: Intersectional, Anti-Racist and Intercultural Approaches by Therapists of Colour explores the importance of a more inclusive approach to therapy. This collection of contributions from 27 experts in the field addresses the psychological impact of racism, barriers to accessing support, and the lived experience of Black, African, and Asian individuals in a profession dominated by Eurocentric perspectives. The book is divided into four sections, covering topics such as anti-racist reflections, training in the psychological field, CPD, supervision, and self-care, as well as therapeutic needs and psychological wellbeing within the context of identity, culture, and belonging. This valuable resource is an invaluable addition to any therapeutic practice seeking to create a more intersectional, anti-racist, and inter-cultural approach. By drawing on the expertise of therapists of colour, this collection provides insight into the benefits of an intersectional, anti-racist, and inter-cultural approach to therapy, and is essential reading for anyone working in the field.
