Racism in the United States
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.

The Social Psychology of Good and Evil, First Edition
This compelling work brings together an array of distinguished scholars to explore key concepts, theories, and findings pertaining to some of the most fundamental issues in social life: the conditions under which people are kind and helpful to others or, conversely, under which they commit harmful, even murderous, acts. Covered are such topics as the complex interaction of individual, societal, and situational factors underpinning good or evil behavior; the role of guilt and the self-concept; and issues of responsibility and motivation, including why good people do bad things. The volume also examines whether aggression and violence are inescapable aspects of human nature, and how cooperative interaction can break down stereotyping and discrimination.
