Rezensionen

"Dr. Sodhi effectively elucidates the impact on BIPOC of colonization, racism, and other dominating ideologies, presenting complex concepts in accessible ways, alongside practical strategies, and models for embracing a trauma-informed, anti-racist, anti-oppressive, culturally responsive approach to psychotherapy. Through her intentionally decolonizing language and unapologetic intent to abolish racism towards BIPOC communities, she both disrupts and decentres dominating eurocentric, colonial, and white supremacist approaches to health and healing. Readers will love the practical tips for enacting change in existing systems of oppression and for deepening awareness of the implications of their own embeddedness within these

systems."

Sandra Collins, PhD, RPsych, Researcher, Author, Consultant, and Curriculum Designer on Culturally Responsive and Socially Just Counselling, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

"An incredible book by Dr. Sodhi that brings together psychology, physiology, trauma and social justice in an engaging manner! Content is presented in a clear, applicable manner for clinicians in training, or seasoned clinicians looking to expand their therapeutic knowledge of diverse populations. Undoubtedly, this book is of significant importance in its contribution to the research literature given the inclusivity of content, BIPOC representation, and has wonderful potential to empower those who wish to help clients break systemic barriers."

Dr. Nita Tewari, Founder and Licensed Psychologist at SITARA Psychology Center, Newport Beach, California, United States of America

"Dr. Sodhi calls for a shift to decolonize professional practice beyond tokenistic aspiration. Her book offers a crucial nuancing of racial trauma and skillful application of her Inclusion and Healing Therapy Framework, convincing us that healing the pain of oppression cannot happen without personalized cultural attention. Irrefutably, professionals can no longer put off decolonizing their practice, and this book rightly encourages creating and holding that space as productive allies in anti-racism."

Cristelle Audet, PhD, Registered Psychotherapist, Associate Professor, University of Ottawa, Co-editor of Social Justice and Counselling: Discourse in Practice, Ontario, Canada

"A compelling and much-needed book for our times, when access to mental health resources for a growing and diverse population is needed more than ever, Trauma-Informed Psychotherapy for BIPOC Communities: Decolonizing Mental Health provides crucial insights on the effects of various forms of trauma and racism and how particular considerations in the healing process must be regarded for the well-being of our clients and our communities. Dr. Sodhi provides a comprehensive, yet concise background with clinical insights from her own healing journey and those of the numerous BIPOC clients she has served."
