The Social Psychology of Black-White Interracial Interactions: Implications for Culturally Competent Clinical Practice
Jordan, Alexander H.; Lovett, Benjamin J.; Sweeton, Jennifer L.
Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, v40 n3 p132-143 Jul 2012
Social psychological research suggests that because of concerns about being perceived in stereotypical ways, people may experience negative affect and diminished attention and cognitive capacity during interracial interactions. The authors discuss this research in relation to therapy and assessment and also offer practical suggestions for ensuring culturally competent professional practice.
