Publisher's summary

An urgent, wide-ranging account of racial trauma and its psychological impact.

Racial trauma is an inescapable byproduct of persistent exposure to repressive circumstances that emotionally, psychologically, and physically devastates one's sense of self while simultaneously depleting one's strategies for coping. It is a life-altering and debilitating experience that affects countless numbers of people of color 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 color who live amid sociocultural conditions that are injurious to their psyches and souls. Even when therapy is trauma-informed, it rarely devotes adequate attention to racial oppression and the pervasive trauma associated with it.

This groundbreaking book provides a comprehensive overview of the anatomy of racial trauma and the debilitating hidden wounds associated with it. Racially sensitive trauma-informed interventions and strategies that centralize race and racial oppression in every facet of the therapeutic process and relationship are meticulously highlighted, making this a must-listen resource for all practicing and aspiring clinicians.

This Book Needs More Attention!

Investing the time to understand racial trauma is not just for professionals in the mental health field but for anyone who seeks to contextualize and heal the distressing aftereffects of intrapsychic racial conflicts that occur at the intersections of everyday social engagement within their organizations, communities, and personal lives.

Sometimes, it is difficult to observe the effects of our efforts, especially when recognition and appreciation do not adequately reflect the significance of our contributions in a time-appropriate manner. With that said, the marks of our impressions are divinely noted, and our influences will continue to endure.

Thank you, Dr. Kenneth V. Hardy, and everyone involved in making this resource available.

Healing and informative

Putting a condition, naming, is truly powerful. My eyes weren’t truly opened until the George Floyd murder to the grooming and invalidating forces society subjects people of color to on a daily basis. Reading this book can be a step in the healing process of us ‘woke’ survivors
