警察暴行和广泛的系统性种族主义是黑人社区历史和当前创伤的根源。黑人生命物质运动和咨询心理学都提出要在多个层面上面对这些现实。Black Lives Matter旨在提高对系统性种族主义的认识,并促进黑人的复原力。咨询心理学陈述了多元文化主义,社会正义和倡导的价值观。咨询心理学的行政领导可能会寻求促进种族正义,但如何参与黑人生命问题运动,并自发和一致地解决更大系统内的种族歧视问题。然而,咨询心理学培训生和专业人士积极参与Black Lives Matter运动,引领前进的道路。通过社会运动中的自发性框架,这份手稿强调了咨询心理学家目前对黑人生命问题的贡献,并提出了建议,建议建立在咨询心理学家进一步参与运动的机会上。
Police brutality and widespread systemic racism represent historical and current sources of trauma in Black communities. Both the Black Lives Matter movement and counseling psychology propose to confront these realities at multiple levels. Black Lives Matter seeks to increase awareness about systemic racism and promote resilience among Black people. Counseling psychology states values of multiculturalism, social justice, and advocacy. Executive leadership in counseling psychology may seek to promote racial justice, yet struggle with how to participate in Black Lives Matter movements and address racial discrimination within larger systems spontaneously and consistently. However, counseling psychology trainees and professionals are actively involved in the Black Lives Matter movement, leading the way forward. Through the framework of spontaneity in social movements, this manuscript highlights what counseling psychologists are currently contributing to Black Lives Matter and makes recommendations that build on the opportunity counseling psychologists have for further involvement in the movement.
