For many clinicians, addressing issues of race in therapy mirrors the same discomfort that permeates most of our efforts to discuss it outside of treatment. Yet providing racially sensitive therapy, as well as possessing the clinical acumen to address complex issues of race and culture, is vital to competent contemporary practice.

It is a life-altering and debilitating experience that affects countless numbers of people of colour over multiple generations. Unfortunately, the failure to consider the interrelationship between racial oppression and trauma limits clinicians' ability to work effectively with many people of colour who live amid sociocultural conditions that are injurious to their psyches and souls.
