This important book brings together race, mental health and applied psychology, unpacking these areas from differing perspectives and offering new insights in support of training and development of practice.

The ability to work with issues of race and intersectionality within psychology is vital. Contributors with experience in counselling psychology and applied psychology from across varied social contexts and professional settings reframe and challenge familiar concepts such as movements to decolonise the curriculum, psychology and therapy. The chapters offer clinical vignettes, lived experiences and reflective questions to provoke the reader’s thinking and engage with curiosity and sensitivity around cultural bias, discrimination, language, and the evolution of terminologies. This book captures the relationship between the ethos of counselling psychology and race, offering a much-needed guide for how to encompass race and racialised experiences in the training and practice of psychology. Rooted in the United Kingdom context but applicable more widely, contributions cover training, supervision, ethical practice, racial trauma, bias and diagnosis, and politics, as well as perspectives and approaches in practice at the intersection of race and gender, age, neurodiversity, sexuality, and spirituality.

This is a key resource for the continued development of in-training and experienced psychologists and psychotherapists, as well as other practitioners within the mental health and allied professions. It will also be of use to students in clinical training programmes and courses such as applied psychology, counselling, and psychotherapy.
