Mental Health and People of
Color: Curriculum Development and Change Edited by Jay C. Chunn, II, Patricia J. Dunston, and Fariyal Ross-Sheriff
Mental Health and People of Color, edited by Jay C. Chunn, II, Patricia J. Dunston, and Fariyal Ross-Sheriff, represents a collective effort to bring greater recognition to the unmet mental health needs of people of color, as reflected in training and service within the mental health professions. Drawn from over forty universities and colleges across the country, the sixty-four contributors to this volume are in the vanguard for change in psychology, social work, psychiatry, and psychiatric nursing. Mental Health and People of Color examines both obvious and subtle misconceptions, stereotypes, and conflicts that affect mental health practitioners and the care they provide people of color. Commissioned with the aid of a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health, Mental Health and People of Color delineates the numerous factors in the mental health professions that begin as barriers to training and become barriers to service.
