"In this training video, Kenneth V. Hardy discusses the psychological legacy of slavery on African Americans. Hardy asserts that slavery remains a "contemporary ghost" that shapes African Americans' self-image, their relationships to one another, and their relationships with White Americans. Behind a backdrop of powerful historical and contemporary imagery, Hardy demonstrates the importance of recognizing and openly addressing the past, and lays the groundwork for genuine dialogue, understanding, and healing in clinical environments, classrooms, and other settings. You will learn how residual trauma resulting from slavery shapes the contemporary African American psychological experience; ways the legacy of slavery continues to divide African Americans and White people today; and why feelings of guilt and shame about slavery may lead to avoidance, denial and trivialization of this issue by White Americans. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions." Supplied by publisher.
