Depression in African American women is often invisible, misdiagnosed, and ineptly treated. Black women are vulnerable to depression due to chronic environmental stressors of racism, sexism, poverty, cultural socialization practices, and social health difficulties. Middle-class and college-educated Black women are also vulnerable to depression, although less of the research has focused on this segment of Black women. We highlight psychological literature that explores the phenomenon of depression among Black women. By way of a clinical case study, we discuss how counselors and psychologists can use Resistance Theory to identify and treat depression in a highly functioning college-educated, middle-class, single African American woman
