A Phenomenological Analysis of the Invisibility Syndrome
Tovar-Murray, Darrick; Tovar-Murray, Maria
Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, v40 n1 p24-36 Jan 2012
Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to explore 10 African American men's perceptions of invisibility. Participants perceived invisibility as an extra unwarranted burden that is accompanied by feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, and anger. Participants also coped with invisibility by finding safe havens within the Black community. Implications for counselors are discussed. (Contains 1 table.)
