An urgent, wide-ranging account of racial trauma and its psychological impact.

FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Racial trauma is an inescapable byproduct of persistent exposure to repressive circumstances that emotionally, psychologically, and physically devastates one's sense of self while simultaneously depleting one's strategies for coping. It is a life-altering and debilitating experience that affects countless numbers of people of color over multiple generations. Unfortunately, the failure to consider the interrelationship between racial oppression and trauma limits clinicians' ability to work effectively with many people of color who live amid sociocultural conditions that are injurious to their psyches and souls. Even when therapy is trauma-informed, it rarely devotes adequate attention to racial oppression and the pervasive trauma associated with it. This groundbreaking book provides a comprehensive overview of the anatomy of racial trauma and the debilitating hidden wounds associated with it. Racially sensitive trauma-informed interventions and strategies that centralize race and racial oppression in every facet of the therapeutic process and relationship are meticulously highlighted, making this a must-read resource for all practicing and aspiring clinicians.

Review

Dr. Hardy's Racial Trauma is a long-overdue and deeply important guide to an essential topic, and to the effects of racialized trauma on our individual bodyminds, our relationships, our communities, and our collective consciousness. Every--and I mean every--clinician needs to read, reflect on, and make use of this book.--Resmaa Menakem, MSW, LICSW, SEP, and author of My Grandmother's Hands, The Quaking of America, and Monsters in Love
