Black Psychology

Black psychology is a field that explores the psychological experiences, behaviors, and cultural identities of Black individuals. It emphasizes understanding mental health and personal development within the context of systemic racism, historical trauma, and cultural heritage. This discipline looks at how cultural factors shape the worldview of Black people and prioritizes approaches that affirm their identity and resilience. By integrating traditional psychological principles with African-centered philosophies and practices, Black psychology seeks to address unique challenges and promote well-being in the Black community while advocating for social justice and equity in mental health care.
