Most research and couple therapy modalities tend to be normed on white European American couples and fail to include research on Black couples. This volume fills a void in the theory, research, and practice of couples therapy where clinicians have historically not been specifically trained to provide culturally responsive care when addressing the unique experiences and needs of Black couples. It aims to provide students, researchers, and allied mental health professionals with greater awareness, knowledge, and competency in working with Black couples. It assists therapists in developing a working alliance with Black couples and places an emphasis on cultivating environments that are instrumental to decreasing relationship distress and disconnection. Black Couples Therapy provides a comprehensive overview of the research and theory behind race and collective identity as well as romantic coupling, illustrated by examples of practice.
- Provides examples of transdisciplinary science in action and demonstrates how multiple disciplines can be integrated
- Makes research, theory, and practice accessible to readers
- Fills a void in literature on couples therapy with Black couples, enabling clinicians to provide culturally responsive care and clinical interventions that inform treatment approaches
