Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy with Black Americans: A Principle and Structurally Informed Perspective
暫譯: 針對黑人美國人的認知行為療法：原則與結構性知識的觀點

This book integrates research from behavioral and social sciences to advance the use of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with Black Americans who have experienced structural racism. As the US grows more racially diverse, clinicians and graduate schools are in need of clinical resources to guide their culturally responsive practice with Black Americans.

Among the contents covered are:

• The historical context of CBT and structural racism (Part I: Chapters 1 - 2);
• Theoretical and empirically-based principles and practice for optimizing CBT with Black Americans (Part II: Chapters 3 - 7); and
• The application of CBT to specific Black demographics (Part III: Chapter 8).
• The Appendices, which include a summary of clinical research on CBT with Black individuals, a table providing descriptions of the ten CBT RESPPECTUS principles, as well as full and abbreviated versions of the Cultural Trauma Scale (CuTS).

The author is a licensed clinical social worker and licensed clinical addictions counselor, as well as a tenured Associate Professor at the Indiana University School of Social Work. Dr. Virgil L. Gregory, Jr. has years of experience providing CBT to Black individuals and has made substantive and innovative empirical contributions to CBT for Black Americans.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy with Black Americans: A Principle and Structurally Informed Perspective addresses a current gap in the professional literature. The book is primarily intended for practicing clinicians and graduate students in the fields of clinical social work, clinical and social psychology, psychiatry, counseling, marriage and family therapy, nursing, and public health. Clinical researchers who conduct or consume research regarding Black Americans will also find the book an invaluable resource.
