Burnout, racial trauma, and protective experiences of Black psychologists and counselors
Results from this study suggest that BMHPs may be more susceptible to burnout and race-based traumatic stress as a result of their work. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
Counseling trainees' experiences working with Afghan refugees
Using a thematic analysis, we examined the reflections of N = 14 counselors-in-training (CIT) who co-led groups with Afghan refugees. Five themes related to cultural humility emerged from the data. Implications for counselor educators leading community engaged programs that build cultural humility are discussed
Adverse Childhood Experiences, Religious Coping, and Congregational Support among Black Clergy and Religious Leaders
Limited studies have empirically investigated the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) among Black clergy and religious leaders despite their status as helping professionals who are implicated in times of crisis. In light of cultural considerations that position African American churches as trusted institutions linking local communities of color with various social services, African American religious leaders are particularly implicated…
Ideological and Experiential Predictors of Asian Americans’ Attitudes Towards Black Americans
Drawing on the theories of Kim’s racial triangulation and Allport’s intergroup contact, this study examined ideological and experiential predictors of Asian Americans’ interracial attitudes and solidarity with Black Americans. In a community sample of 249 Asian Americans, hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that the ideological variables of internalized racism and model minority myth were associated with greater anti-Black attitude…
Secondary Traumatic Stress, Religious Coping, and Medical Mistrust among African American Clergy and Religious Leaders
Previous research has investigated the prevalence and impact of secondary traumatic stress (STS) among those working as helping professionals. However, limited studies have provided clear and coherent information about STS among clergy, pastors, and other religious leaders, despite their status as helping professionals who are implicated in times of crisis. STS is particularly salient to African American religious leaders due to cultural factors …
Teaching career counseling as a pathway for justice and advocacy work
The authors conducted a thematic analysis of interviews with nine faculty who teach career counseling with an emphasis on advocacy and social justice. Participants spoke of their motivations for teaching the course, their strategies to engender excitement about this specialty, and barriers in framing the course through an advocacy lens
Including Multiculturalism, Social Justice, and Peace within the Integration of Psychology and Theology
Multiculturalism, social justice, and peace are important aspects of the Christian faith. However, scholars in the literature seeking to integrate psychology and Christian theology have underrepresented them. In this present article, we review barriers to including them in our psychology–theology integration literature. Thereafter, we provide a trinitarian theology of multiculturalism, social justice, and peace with a hope that theological knowle…

Interracial Trust between Black Doctoral Student Protégés and White Mentors
Psychologists have found that many Black persons in the United States have significant levels of mistrust of White persons. This serves as a protective factor in response to pervasive structural and systemic racism. Yet interracial trusting relationships exist. In this phenomenological study, 10 Black counseling doctoral students described their interracial trust experiences with White faculty and/or clinical supervisor mentors. The authors const…
Not a Problem to Be Fixed
This article describes a qualitative study with seven first-generation college graduates who went on to complete graduate school and are now working in colleges and universities as counselors and counselor educators. The findings highlight the resources that these participants possessed that contributed to their college success stories. Relational-cultural theory is proposed as a fitting developmental model for college counselors working with thi…
Forgiveness in Committed Couples
Theologians, pastors, and psychological help-providers have not always worked harmoniously. This can be especially true with couples. Theological and pastoral help-providers value marriage as sacred and are reluctant to entertain ending it. Most psychotherapists have more training and experience in individual psychotherapy than in couple therapy. Drawing on the parable of the Good Samaritan, we appeal to theologians, pastors, and psychological he…
