Work Description
Any counselor or therapist, regardless of race, background, or motives, can engage in unintentional acts of racism. In so doing, they may inadvertently sabotage their own efforts and perpetuate the very problems they seek to overcome. In this book, the dynamics and the effects of racism in counseling are examined with an emphasis on the insidiousness of unintentional racism. Workable solutions and practical alternatives are proposed with the goal of eliminating unintentional racism.
Numerous supporting clinical examples are included in order to help counselors gain new insights into their operational practices and to modify any behavior that may interfere with a helpful intervention.
