The United States accounts for 5% of the world population, but our prison population makes up 25% of the world’s (Nagin, 2014). African Americans account for the largest percent of our prison population because they have the highest incarceration rate compared to other races. This essay will argue that African Americans are incarcerated at a higher rate than Caucasians. Proven by statistical data, there are grounds to establish that the racial disparity in incarceration rates is a social problem. To address this social problem, public policy should be implemented by the Federal Government.

The number of two-parent African American households is dissolving. According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the black family has declined from 80% in 1890 to 39% in 1990. The result of conflict, and warring souls in the African American community, this trend can be stopped and reversed. The African American family must first gain an understanding of what is causing this dissolution, then they can be taught about what principals and skills they must adapt in order to reverse it. Once this is accomplished, the black family must be given opportunities to share this information. By taking these steps, two-parent African American families would once again be prevalent in the United States.

For Black people, race is a never-ending conscious component of life in America. We live in a country with a history of slavery that, once ended, extended into an institution and system of laws; Jim Crow, that continue to keep members of the Black community “othered” and invisible. The threefold purpose of this writing is to discuss how the treatment of African-American patients engaging in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy - as they exist today - fails to meet their full potential in the healing of the Black psyche; and to consider how the training curriculum can be expanded to include writings of Black psychoanalysts; and to encourage the analytic community to be opened up to include more analysts of

The clients involved in this case study is an African-American 12-year-old boy ,30-year-old mother and 33-year-old father. I have been assigned to work with the 12-year-old regarding his issues with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anger issues, mood disorder, and oppositional defiance disorder. My agency has created several goals for the client to achieve while receiving services such as mastering three coping skills to improve his ability to effectively deal with losses in his life (i.e. the absence of his biological father); identifying seven ways he can respect authority figures in the home and community; and mastering five

The protests full effect was achieved through the feet and resiliency of the travelers that organized carpools and walked long miles to work. Even with threats of violence and job loss, African Americans, many of which were poor, effectively crippled a bus system that received over 60 percent of its revenue from the African American community- they were resilient.

Racism against African Americans and other ethnicities is still prevalent in our society. Salis (2015) mentions a recent poll of Caucasian and African Americans and found that sixty percent of those surveyed felt racial relationships ha vent improved and forty percent felt they were worse. In this paper, I will identify how a counselor can reduce the effects of racism and discrimination that has affected African Americans. Additionally, I will address what role a counselor plays in reducing the stigma of mental illness within the African American community. Furthermore, I will highlight the legal and ethical issues identified in the video

I aim to analyze the disparity in African American’s access to counseling & psychological services. According to literature such as Andre Bean’s “An examination of factors that contribute to African Americans inability to seek professional psychological help”, Black people under use mental health services. This coupled with an ubiquitous stigma on psychological services impacts how Black people navigate the space of mental health. I am interested in exploring how social media represents the changing attitude of mental health. Furthermore, I am hoping to unpack how the shifting of public discourse influences and materializes policy in providing access to African Americans.

The African American population is underrepresented in the field of counseling (Williams & Justice, 2010). Because African American men have a macho complex that they have to maintain, some see going to counseling as a sign of weakness. Blacks have a mistrust that’s associated with being oppressed by Whites. Black men have been opposed to opening up and letting a stranger into their lives. They would rather to speak with someone in their community such as family, friends, pastor, or teachers. It’s extremely important for a counselor to build rapport with clients of another race because it’s beneficial to the therapeutic process (Williams & Justice).
