Colour blindness as microaggression: Perspectives on race and ethnicity in counselling and psychotherapy training and practice
12 July 2021
Black Identities + White Therapies PCCS Books Ltd
Authors: Williams M, Editors: Charura D, Lago CHistorically, counselling and psychotherapy have been considered to be a white, middle-class profession (Spalding et al., 2018) and as failing to attend to the specific but diverse social constructs of the identities of black and ethnic minority patients. The perpetual perception has been that ‘talking therapies’ are ill-suited to the intellectual capacities of non-white patients, which extended to individuals of working-class background (Thomas, 2019), so that these groups were readily excluded from such services. Our ever-growing diverse and multicultural British society calls for the continual examination of contemporary counselling and psychotherapy training and practice, which must seek to consider more transformative ways of developing appropriately inclusive models of intervention in these fields.
