Counseling African American Men (series - 3 videos)
Race and racism are obviously charged and difficult topics that may seem like the elephant in the room, and therapists are often uncertain how to address them. Yet ignoring these issues comes at its own peril. In this compelling series, psychotherapist and educator Darrick Tovar-Murray lays out the case that failing to bring these uncomfortable issues into the room will greatly limit your ability to form an authentic and powerful connection with African-American men. Through riveting clinical demonstrations and accompanying candid conversations with psychologist Victor Yalom, Tovar-Murray demonstrates compassionate and collaborative techniques for creating the safe space and meaningful connections for African American men to grow and heal in therapy. The series presents the societal forces and developmental issues common to this population, and then highlights clear, effective strategies for overcoming the barriers and pitfalls therapists often encounter when treating them. It also examines the profound influence of family, culture, and history, and discusses destructive stereotypes like the “angry black man” and the “absent black father.”
