“…Improving counselors’ race‐specific skills and knowledge could serve to more directly redress racism and its negative impacts on clientele of color (Hook et al, 2016; Owen, Tao, Imel, Wampold, & Rodolfa, 2014). In turn, experts have suggested that the general inclusion and exploration of race‐related topics in counseling can positively affect the experience of clients of color (Day‐Vines, Bryan, & Griffin, 2013; Hipolito‐Delgado & Reinders‐Saeman, 2017; Meyer & Zane, 2013; Zhang & Burkard, 2008).…”

Scholars have cited an antiracist identity as an ideal development status for Whites seeking to change systemic racism (Helms, 1995). However, little is known regarding the lived complexities of antiracist work itself. This article examines the experiences of one group of Whites (N = 10) committed to antiracist action. Outcomes indicate challenges that include backlash and struggles to identify more effective antiracist tactics. Coping mechanisms are considered in relation to counseling and counselor training practices.

“…Thus, ethnic minorities were more likely to report higher intentions and to actually seek help after controlling for sex, distress, impairment, social encouragement, stigma, attitudes, and intentions. This contrasts with past research which indicates that racial and ethnic minorities are less likely to seek psychological help and more likely to drop out of therapy (Diala et al, 2000; Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration, 2015; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2002), often because mental health providers do not share their ethnicity (Gamst et al, 2003;Maramba & Hall, 2002;Meyer, Zane, & Cho, 2011;Meyer & Zane, 2013;Turner, Brody & Hopps, 2008;Ward, 2005). Perhaps one possible explanation is that individuals were responding based on what they thought the researcher wanted instead of what they would really do.…”

CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 2. LITERATURE REVIEW Efficacy of Psychotherapy CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW The number of individuals living with or at risk for developing a mental illness is staggering. Approximately one out of every four individuals experiences mental illness in a given year (Clement et al., 2015). Of those, approximately half are diagnosed with two or more disorders. In a recent study conducted by The World Health Organization (WHO), mental illness and suicide accounted for over fifteen percent of the years of life lost to mortality and to time lost to ill health in the United States. This is more than the disease burden caused by all cancers combined (WHO, 2004). In line with this, Demyttenaere and colleagues (2004) studied the prevalence, severity and treatment of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) mental disorders in 14 countries (6 less developed, 8 developed) in the WHO's World Mental Health (WMH) Survey Initiative. Researchers conducted face-to-face household surveys of 60,463 community adults from 2001 to 2003 in 14 countries in the Americas, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia. Within the United States, of the individuals surveyed, 18.2% met criteria for anxiety disorders, 9.6% mood disorders, 6.8 impulse control disorders, 3.8% for substance use and 26.4 for any disorder. Of those who met criteria, 52.3% of those with an illness categorized as serious received health care treatment, 34.1% with moderate categorization received treatment and 22.5% with a mild disorder received treatment. Serious cases included serious lethal suicide attempts within the past 12 months, work limitations due to mental illness or substance disorders, symptoms of psychosis, bipolar disorders, substance dependence that impacted daily functioning, serious repeated violence due to problems with impulse control, and mental illness that resulted in 30 or more days out of life roles (Demyttenaere, Bruffaerts,

“…The articles coded in this category ( n = 49, 20%) examine various aspects of community mental health centers and the services they provide. For example, Flynn, Balch, Lewis and Katz () assessed client satisfaction with community mental health services; and Meyer and Zane () investigated whether culturally relevant elements of mental health treatment plans predicted client satisfaction and treatment outcomes. The dates of publication for articles in this category ranged from 1973 to 2013, with the majority ( n = 35, 71%) published prior to 1985, and only four articles published after 2000.…”

Articles published in the two most prominent journals of community psychology in North America, the American Journal of Community Psychology (AJCP) and Journal of Community Psychology (JCP), provide a clear indicator of trends in community research and practice. An examination of community psychology's history and scholarship suggests that the field has reduced its emphasis on promoting mental health, well-being, and liberation of individuals with serious mental illnesses over the past several decades. To further investigate this claim, the current review presents an analysis of articles relevant to community mental health (N = 307) published in the American Journal of Community Psychology (AJCP) and Journal of Community Psychology (JCP) from 1973 to 2015. The review focuses on article characteristics (e.g., type of article and methods employed), author characteristics, topic areas, and theoretical frameworks. Results document a downward trend in published articles from the mid-1980s to mid-2000s, with a substantial increase in published work between 2006 and 2015. A majority of articles were empirical and employed quantitative methods. The most frequent topic area was community mental health centers and services (n = 49), but the past three decades demonstrate a clear shift away from mental health service provision to address pressing social issues that impact community mental health, particularly homelessness (n = 42) and community integration of adults with serious mental illnesses (n = 40). Findings reflect both the past and present state of community psychology and suggest promising directions for re-engaging with community mental health and fostering well-being, inclusion, and liberation of adults experiencing serious mental health challenges.
