Reviews for Black Issues in the Therapeutic Process
'She is an engaging writer who uses both storytelling and poetry to help illuminate the reader's understanding of black ancestral experiences...McKenzie Mavinga has an integrated holistic approach to race. I have noticed that there is a shortage of books of this type on university booklists. This title deserves a prime place on the shelves of both trainers and therapists.' - Susie Holden Smith, Therapy Today '...a timely and valuable contribution to the emerging literature on black issues in counselling and psychotherapy...' - Times Higher Education, Psychology Network Newsletter 'Black Issues in the Therapeutic Process really is essential reading... The exercises suggested in this book would make for a solid base for a training module for all health professionals, before or after qualifying.' - Cicely Gill, Healthcare Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal '...whatever your race, Black Issues in the Therapeutic Process will cause you to reflect constructively on ideas and issues that you will not have considered before. And that must be to everyone's benefit.' - Richard Bryant-Jefferies, NHS Foundation Trust
