Developing Anti-Racist Practices in the Helping Professions: Inclusive Theory, Pedagogy, and Application

This book provides an interdisciplinary structure to critique existing approaches that have failed to eradicate systemic inequalities across helping professions. This timely contribution offers helping professionals sought after resources that many are clamoring for to improve their practice, their pedagogical stance, and their knowledge as it relates to antiracism and antiracist approaches. This collection of chapters that cover antiracist research, theory and practice approaches is in direct response to Kendi’s (2019) call to action to examine and revise institutional policies and practices to become antiracist. Collectively this book advances existing research and resources by providing interdisciplinary strategies for helping professionals to engage in antiracism through critical evaluation of research, practice, and policies. Doing so empowers helping professionals across disciplines to employ antiracist strategies that deconstruct and dismantle racism embedded within the foundational origins, professional standards, and disciplinary practices of helping professions while simultaneously merging research, practice, and advocacy that employs antiracist practices.

An intimate look at the people ensnared by the US detention and deportation system, the largest in the world On a bright Phoenix morning, Elena Santiago opened her door to find her house surrounded by a platoon of federal immigration agents.

De la Garza weaves a powerful examination of the complex processes that work together to constrain self-expression in a woman of Mexican ancestry. The book demonstrates the use of a variety of creative and reflexive methodologies, including poetry, prayers, de/reconstructed narratives, autobiography, and letters to historical and cultural female archetypes of Mexican origin. This methodology of «art as meditation», for obtaining insight into the dynamics of culture, is used to produce an autoethnographic study of how one can reclaim voice through rigorous interrogation of our own lives as cultural texts. De la Garza offers us a template for a new methodology, as applicable in academic studies of culture as it is in the everyday lives of those seeking to find voice within silenced cultural domains.

Drawing from Within

  • Categories: Art

Drawing from Within is an introductory guide for those wanting to explore the use of art with clients with eating disorders. Art therapy is a particularly effective therapeutic intervention for this group, as it allows them to express uncomfortable thoughts and feelings through artistic media rather than having to explain them verbally. Lisa D. Hinz outlines the areas around which the therapist can design effective treatment programmes, covering family influences, body image, self-acceptance, problem solving and spirituality. Each area is discussed in a separate chapter and is accompanied by suggestions for exercises, with advice on materials to use and how to implement them. Case examples show how a therapy programme can be tailored to the individual client and photographs of client artwork illustrate the text throughout. Practical and accessible to practitioners at all levels of experience, this book gives new hope to therapists and other mental health professionals who want to explore the potential of using art with clients with eating disorders.
