Black American’s Strengths-Based Cultural Practices

Tools for Clinicians to Promote Psychological Well-Being

About this book

Black Americans' Strengths-Based Cultural Practices: Tools for Clinicians to Promote Psychological Well-Being uses historical, social, scientific, and psychological research to detail how mental health professionals can use the cultural practices of Black Americans and communities to promote positive psychosocial health.

Building on experiences of racial oppression and cultural values, Dr's. Carter, Pieterse, and Forsyth offer an evidence-based framework for recognizing and enhancing strengths-based cultural practices of Black American clients and families in mental health interventions. This volume will broaden the base of work on the mental health treatment of Black Americans and provide an approach to understanding the unique cultural influences of Black people as they relate to psychological health.

The book is suitable for a wide range of professionals, including social workers, mental health practitioners, nurses, teachers and sociologists at various levels of education and training.
