Abstract
This article examines the issue of job socialization failure and its impact on the mental health of African American females of professional status. The realization of the continued "browning": and class diversification of both the therapeutic landscape and the professional labor force holds significant ramifications for therapeutic practice. Such changes dictate that therapists from all backgrounds prepare to meet the Black female professional's service demands for career and occupational counseling. To aid in the advancement of therapeutic knowledge concerning treatment of special populations, guidelines are provided to enhance the therapist's skill in: (1) decoding and demystifying the destructive elements of organizational life, (2) understanding cultural nuances, and (3) applying those clinical methodologies that support healthy adoption and recovery while minimizing relapse; and, building new skill repertories. Essentially, service delivery requires that therapists integrate the disciplines of organizational behavior and therapy. Two case scenarios and clinical strategies aimed at alleviating the concomitant occupation stressors are presented.
