Measuring the Effects of Racism

Helen A. Neville, coauthor of Counseling the Culturally Diverse:
Drawing on decades of experience, Robert Carter and Alex Pieterse have given us a tour de force exploration of new research on race-based traumatic stress (RBTS). Introducing an invaluable new theoretical model and assessment, they have provided an indispensable resource for researchers, practitioners, and trainees interested in systematically addressing the ill effects of racism in our society.

Hugo Kamya, Simmons University:
Carter and Pieterse increase our understanding of and the treatability of traumatic stress that results from racism. The proposals proffered in Measuring the Effects of Racism will lead to better treatment methods of race-based trauma and increase the evidence base for advocacy and agendas for social justice.
