Abstract

Black American women are uniquely positioned to experience systemic racism and oppression due to their intersecting identities of gender, race, sexuality, and class. Black feminist therapy (BFT) provides empirically proven strategies to promote the psychological health and well-being of Black women and foster their empowerment, liberation, and radical healing.

A case example is provided as evidence of the process and effectiveness of BFT in working with Black women.
