In this fascinating book, authors Joshua Miller and Ann Marie Garran investigate the many facets of racism in the United States, and the implications it carries for those in the helping professions. Using critical race theory as their starting point, they explore both the historical context of racism and the 'web of institutional racism' in the United States today. The authors strongly believe that human service professionals must confront racism on two fronts: the racism outside of themselves as well as the racism within. This book pursues both themes and analyzes the social and psychological dynamics of racism. Those in the helping professions are ethically obligated to work for a society of fairness and social justice and to provide culturally responsive services to all their clients, ensuring equal access and quality. However, the authors point out that it is insufficient to solely focus on social structures, services, institutional practices, or on changing other people. Instead, practitioners must also look within and explore their own biases and blind spots, as these will influence how they view not only themselves, but also those whom they are committed to helping.

Role in forming balanced assessments.
Suitable for mental health practitioners in a variety of disciplines, this work reflects the theory and clinical practice. It offers chapters, on attachment, relational, and intersubjective theories, respectively, as well as on trauma.
Social work theory and ethics places social justice at its core and recognises that many clients from oppressed and marginalized communities frequently suffer greater forms and degrees of physical and mental illness. However, social justice work has all too often been conceptualized as a macro intervention, separate and distinct from clinical practice. This practical text is designed to help social workers intervene around the impact of socio-political factors with their clients and integrate social justice into their clinical work. Based on past radical traditions, it introduces and applies a liberation health framework which merges clinical and macro work into a singular, unified way of wo...
Heightened interest in multicultural issues in psychology and an understanding of culture as a critical aspect of human behavior has moved the topic of multiculturalism into the forefront of research and to required coursework in the helping professions.
