Abstract
This study examined the correlation between cultural racism and burnout among 252 Black mental health therapists in the United States. Using the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping, the authors aimed to provide a better understanding of stress appraisals (i.e., cultural racism) that affect burnout among Black mental health therapists. Perceived cultural racism and hours worked per week were found to be predictive of burnout. The findings highlight the importance of attending to cultural racism as a work stress that impacts the well-being of Black mental health therapists.
