How therapists and counselors can respond to and offer healing for racial trauma and microaggressions.

Confronting systemic injustices and paving the way towards a more inclusive, culturally responsive, and effective practice, Chioma Anah examines how art therapy can be used as a tool in addressing racial trauma.

Delving into theories of racism and its evolution, the taxonomy of microaggressions, advocacy and intersectionality, this resource exposes the powerful structures that perpetuate daily microaggressions experienced by African Americans and how therapeutic relationship can repeat these. It shares poignant client narratives and artwork as well as insight from diverse art therapists, all men and women of color.

With invaluable recommendations for future research, implications for counseling and counseling education, this book is essential reading for therapists, counselors, and educators.
