The Past is Not Past: Why and How to Incorporate Historical Context into Therapy with People from Minority Ethnic Backgrounds
An awareness of history is important when providing therapy / counselling to people from minority ethnic backgrounds. For example, when a therapist works with a member of the Windrush generation, or one of their descendants, it is probably helpful for the therapist to have some knowledge about the history of Caribbean migration to the UK and the history of racism in this country. However, there has only been limited focus on history in the academic literature on psychological therapies. This training will explore why historical awareness on the part of the therapist is important, considering this in relation to stages of therapy (engagement, assessment, formulation, intervention and ending) and use of therapeutic tools (e.g. genograms, timelines). It will provide some didactic teaching but also significant space for reflection as a group and practical exercises.
