Women Psychotherapists
This book describes the real-life journeys of women psychotherapists: why each woman chose this profession and what she learned about others-and most importantly, about herself-in this choice. Most critically, these women now share how they have integrated this wisdom into their everyday lives. While psychotherapists may also be authors, few write books about their journeys in the profession. Women Psychotherapists: Journeys in Healing is one of those rare books. Each contributor invites her readers onto the road traveled by the woman who listens to others needing her help and guides them into living a more joyous, successful life, even as she moves towards greater fulfillment in her own life.

Organized by subject, the work comprises contributions from noted experts on the psychological health of women of color. The book analyzes the life stages of women of color: childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age.

The Psychopathology of Everyday Racism and Sexism
This enriching volume looks at psychology, social change, and community empowerment. Women of color from both inside and outside the psychological community and discipline explore a history of personal tragedy largely due to racism and poverty. The failure of traditional psychiatry and psychology to understand the struggles and problems in the lives of women of color is contrasted with the newer therapies that advocate the notion that one's history--who one is--has relevance to the study of psychology.
