Cultural Dysthymia
Many African Americans experience low-grade depression, referred to as dysthymia in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed., text rev.; American Psychiatric Association, 2000). After more than 250 years of enslavement, prejudice, and discrimination, dysthymia is reflected in chronic low-grade sadness, anger, hostility, aggression, self-hatred, hopelessness, and self-destructive behaviors. To avoid misdiagnosis, counselo…

The Negro Personality Reconsidered
Before considering the Negro personality, it is necessary to advance an operational definition of personality. It is, therefore, the premise of this paper that personality develops as a result of actual contacts with the world and the organization of experiences gained from these contacts into an integrated whole.1 An individual learns to behave in a particular way as a result of interactions with people, not because he possesses innate imperativ…
The Negro Against Himself
Throughout the Negro's stay in America, he has been misrepresented, mnisjudged, and maligned; he has been talked about and written about. Attempts to understand what has been happening to him in the midst of detached babelism are unfortunately lacking. The growing tendency to devaluate self and its farreaching repercussions have been almost completely overlooked. In effect, a large segment of today's Negro population may be thought of as les enfa…
Patterns of Segregation and Discrimination
It is generally agreed that the Negro crime rate as compared to the general population is proportionately high, at least statistically. Attempting to explain this fact, some writers have theorized that Negroes have a criminal tendency.1 A few sociologists maintain that Negroes are not predisposed to crime, but that the group's status in the American society creates a pattern of problems which account for the high crime rate. A hybrid of this theo…
