Managing Microaggressions Summary

Managing Microaggressions: Addressing Everyday Racism in Therapeutic Spaces by Monnica T. Williams (Associate Professor & Canada Chair for Mental Health Disparities, Associate Professor & Canada Chair for Mental Health Disparities, University of Ottawa)

Microaggressions have been identified as a common and troubling cause of low retention and poor psychotherapy outcomes for people of color. All therapists want and intend to be helpful to their clients, but many unknowingly committing microaggressions due to unconscious biases and misconceptions about people from ethnic and racial minority groups. Managing Microaggressions is intended for mental health clinicians who want to be more effective in their use of evidence-based practices with people of color. Many well-intentioned clinicians lack the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively engage those who are ethnoracially different. This book discusses the theoretical basis of the problem (microaggressions), the cognitive-behavioral mechanisms by which the problem is maintained, and how to remedy the problem using CBT principles, with a focus on the role of the therapist. Not only will readers learn how to avoid offending or harming their clients, they will also be better equipped to help clients navigate microaggressions they encounter in their daily lives. Managing Microaggressions will endow clinicians with a clear understanding of these behaviors and the errors that underpin them, leading to more successful therapy.

Managing Microaggressions Reviews

Williams outlines practical steps to evaluate one's own relative privileges, understand how those privileges may be unconsciously leveraged against more marginalized individuals, and work to reduce the interpersonal harm that may be caused through operation of unconscious biases. This is a solid foundation for further exploration of microaggressions and racism more broadly, particularly with respect to intersectionality. * A. T. Moody, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Choice *
In this fantastic resource, Dr. Williams provides clear examples of how to identify, prevent, and respond to microagressions in therapy (and daily life). Managing Microaggressions: Addressing Everyday Racism in Therapeutic Spaces will be required reading for all therapist trainees I supervise, and I believe that clinicians at any career stage will benefit from Dr. Williams' wisdom. * CJ Seitz-Brown, PhD, Assistant Clinical Professor, University of Maryland, College Park *
This book is an important reference for instructors, clinicians, and researchers regarding microaggressions, and brings needed clarity to common misconceptions on the topic. Dr. Williams has used her extensive expertise and knowledge of microaggressions to provide practical vignettes, clinical dialogues, and discussion prompts that will enrich practice and teaching. * Matthew D. Skinta, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychology, Roosevelt University *
