Book excerpt: Has it ever felt like a back-handed compliment to be called a "Strong Black Woman"? That statement says more about your weaknesses than your strengths. The stereotypical strong Black woman does it all. She wades through the barrage of racism and misogyny designed to drown her, yet serves as the life vest for everyone else. They need her, but who tends to her needs? Practicing self-care means something different for black women that are faced with the unfairness of having to live in a constant state of duality. Strong Black women take care of what is necessary despite their limited resources, systemic, and how they feel. It is very difficult to uphold what it means to be a strong Black woman in the Black community and make self-care a priority. Which births the difficult question, are Black women that embrace this stereotype able to practice self-care?Selfish Women's Group is a story about strong Black women attempting to heal through self-care during a pandemic and traumatic racial tensions. This story highlights the importance of practicing self-care and how easy it is to lose sight of it. Selfish Women's Group addresses the issues that make it problematic for Black women to practice self-care and provides encouragement to overcome them.Meet the women of Selfish Women's Group: Three black women from Lynn and Malden, Massachusetts meet each other at a local self-care group. Ida, Faith and Michelle build a sisterhood while dealing with their own complex emotional-health issues.

Will they learn to be Selfish with self-care?Nobody knows more than Ida how having problems down below can severely impact your quality of life. As if having fibroids aren't enough, Ida must cope with the stress of being a strong black woman. She was taught that showing weakness as a Black woman is intolerable. We all know what gets said about a Black woman that loses her ability to cope. What happens when she just can't take it anymore? Will Ida be strong enough to ask for help or will she suffer in silence due to shame? Do Black women really have bounce-back magic?Faith is a people pleaser. She tries her best to use the tools that she's learned from Selfish Women's Group to help navigate her more challenging relationships. Meanwhile, she finds out at the last minute that her mom is getting released from prison. Will those tools be enough to help her set healthy boundaries from the energy drainers in her life? What's the best way to please people who have betrayed you? Will Faith ever learn to please herself before anyone else?Michelle is a woman who has it all together; a great career, supports her community, is politically astute, and will let you know that she's unapologetically Pro-Black. She is goal-driven with an intense desire to succeed. She's a planner that likes to be in control. Find out what happens when Mother Nature throws Michelle a reproductive curveball. Will she put down her cape? Does having it all together keep Michelle from falling all apart?
Download or read book Selfish Women written by Lisa Downing and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-24 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proceeds from a single and very simple observation: throughout history, and up to the present, women have received a clear message that we are not supposed to prioritize ourselves. Indeed, the whole question of "self" is a problem for women – and a problem that issues from a wide range of locations, including, in some cases, feminism itself. When women espouse discourses of self-interest, self-regard, and selfishness, they become illegible. This is complicated by the commodification of the self in the recent Western mode of economic and political organization known as "neoliberalism," which encourages a focus on self-fashioning that may not be identical with self-regard or self-interest. Drawing on figures from French, US, and UK contexts, including Rachilde, Ayn Rand, Margaret Thatcher, and Lionel Shriver, and examining discourses from psychiatry, media, and feminism with the aim of reading against the grain of multiple orthodoxies, this book asks how revisiting the words and works of selfish women of modernity can assist us in understanding our fraught individual and collective identities as women in contemporary culture. And can women with politics that are contrary to the interests of the collective teach us anything about the value of rethinking the role of the individual? This book is an essential read for those with interests in cultural theory, feminist theory, and gender politics.

Download or read book Specialty Competencies in Group Psychology written by Sally Barlow and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human beings are born into groups, educated in groups, and belong to many groups, yet routinely attribute individual motives to their actions when in fact group-influenced behaviors are the more likely culprit. The theory, research, and practice of group dynamics, group psychology, and group psychotherapy illuminate useful ways for us to learn group skills and to better understand how we are influenced by groups. In Specialty Competencies in Group Psychology Sally Barlow provides a comprehensive overview of the foundational and functional competencies related to the field of group psychology. Barlow describes the potential treatment benefits of group work and shows how the wide range of applicability makes this a relevant volume across diverse areas, regardless of the population receiving treatment or the theoretic orientation of the therapist. This volume distills the uniqueness and contributions of the specialty in a way that benefits not only psychologists who specialize in group psychotherapy, but also clinicians who have previously taken a more traditionally individual approach to treatment. Series in Specialty Competencies in Professional Psychology Series Editors Arthur M. Nezu and Christine Maguth Nezu As the field of psychology continues to grow and new specialty areas emerge and achieve recognition, it has become increasingly important to define the standards of professional specialty practice. Developed and conceived in response to this need for practical guidelines, this series presents methods, strategies, and techniques for conducting day-to-day practice in any given psychology specialty. The topical volumes address best practices across the functional and foundational competencies that characterize the various psychology specialties, including clinical psychology, cognitive and behavioral psychology, school psychology, geropsychology, forensic psychology, clinical neuropsychology, couples and family psychology, and more. Functional competencies include common practice activities like assessment and intervention, while foundational competencies represent core knowledge areas such as ethical and legal issues, cultural diversity, and professional identification. In addition to describing these competencies, each volume provides a definition, description, and development timeline of a particular specialty, including its essential and characteristic pattern of activities, as well as its distinctive and unique features. Written by recognized experts in their respective fields, volumes are comprehensive, up-to-date, and accessible. These volumes offer invaluable guidance to not only practicing mental health professionals, but those training for specialty practice as well.

Download or read book Research on Alcoholics Anonymous and Spirituality in Addiction Recovery written by Marc Galanter and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-05 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was once taken for granted that peer-assisted groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous had no “real” value in recovery from addiction. More recently, evidence-based medicine is recognizing a spiritual component in healing—especially when it comes to addiction. The newest edition of Recent Developments in Alcoholism reflects this change by focusing on the 12-step model of recovery as well as mindfulness meditation and other spiritually oriented activity. More than thirty contributors bring together historical background, research findings, and clinical wisdom to analyze the compatibility of professional treatment and nonprofessional support, day-to-day concepts of relapse prevention, the value of community building in recovery, and much more. Among the topics covered: (1) How and why 12-step groups work. (2) The impact of the spiritual on mainstream treatment. (3) The impact of AA on other nonprofessional recovery programs. (4) AA outcomes for special populations. (5) Facilitating involvement in 12-step programs. (6) Methods for measuring religiousness and spirituality in alcohol research. Whether one is referring clients to 12-step programs or seeking to better understand the process, this is a unique resource for clinicians and social workers. Developmental psychologists, too, will find Volume 18—Research on Alcoholics Anonymous and Spirituality in Addiction Recovery a worthy successor to the series.
