Abstract As the use of intersectionality continues to increase in psychology, so do the critiques and extensions of it. Scholars and practitioners who want to integrate intersectionality need to navigate these critiques to maximize its effectiveness and minimize its potential pitfalls. We examine critiques and extensions of intersectionality, particularly as they apply to mental health theory and practice. We focus on two particular cases, namely assemblage theory and decolonial intersectionality, to discuss ways in which extensions of intersectionality can promote a broader, more inclusive model of intersectional social justice and well-being.

Abstract This brief challenges readers to examine the meaning, intention, and consequences of their use of the phrases “Women and Minorities” and “Women and People of Color.” I assert that the use of that language makes Women of Color invisible while unintentionally or intentionally defining White women and Men of Color as the de facto norms, thus obfuscating the lived realities of Women of Color. I provide recommendations for intersectional language and research, and guidelines for journal editors regarding expectations of intersectional scholarship.

Abstract In this paper, I introduce a framework that invites psychologists to take intersectionality seriously. First, I revisit some primary tools of intersectional analysis and underscore their relevance to critical training. I then sketch out a flexible typology of what intersectionality is and, more consequentially, what it is not. Next, I consider how intersectionality can help to reimagine the relationships between complementary and competing paradigms in multicultural feminist theory. Finally, I extend Cole’s three-question framework for intersectional research in psychology to develop practical questions that might deepen psychology’s engagement with intersectionality at the level of critical pedagogy.

Abstract It is of critical importance that clinicians are trained in sexual assault prevention through an intersectional lens. In this article, I describe a campus sexual assault curriculum that interrogates the role of systematic oppression to prevent the erasure of marginalized identities. I then describe a group project where students create a sexual assault prevention program based on intersectional theory and the role of power and oppression. Finally, I describe improvement areas and specific ways training programs can ensure future practitioners are addressing privilege, oppression, and social change in their campus sexual assault work.

Abstract Traditionally, different types of clinical cultural competency trainings have centered on racialized and gendered mental health statistics. Psychologists’ historical focus has been on typecasting clients’ “otherness” while failing to explore clinicians’ intersectionality and bias. These training gaps have led to many clinicians’ limited awareness of their own privilege, racial identity, and unconscious stereotyping. Building on my own standpoint as a researcher of LGBTQ + intersectional identity development, I present a 5-week experiential learning unit designed to foster clinical psychology doctoral students’ applied understanding of how cultural humility, critical cultural awareness, self-other awareness and compassion, and client-clinician intersectionality interactively impact clinical research and practice.

Abstract Drawing from Black Feminist scholarship, researchers highlight the importance of utilizing an intersectional approach in understanding Black women’s experiences. Multicultural and social justice oriented clinical training must discuss Black women’s gendered racial identity, the influence of gendered racial oppression, and the role of gendered racial socialization in Black women’s self-concept and mental health. Discussed herein are critical issues related to the multifaceted nature of Black women’s identities, suggestions for incorporating intersectional pedagogy around Black women’s mental health in clinical training, and a clinical case study to assist graduate trainees in applying intersectional understanding to their work with Black women.

Ambivalent white racial consciousness describes a push towards awareness about racial privilege and a simultaneous pull back from this knowledge into a more comfortable stance of denial. Twenty-nine White community members and undergraduate students participated in focus group discussions on race. Results indicated that participants expressed ambivalent racial consciousness when they talked about: what it means to be White, their non-racial identities, oppression, attributions for racial inequality, and interracial interactions. Deconstructing ambivalent white racial consciousness can help trainers identify points of intervention for White graduate student practitioners to critically reflect on the intersections between white racial identity and systemic oppression.

Abstract Stereotyping Black women as servant, “the mammy” is a well-known racial and gender stereotype and, if internalized, can decrease mental and physical health. Recreated via the Strong Black Woman (SBW) and Superwoman (SW) ideologies, such ideals have the potential to be empowering, while at the same time marginalizing. The purpose of this article is to discuss how Black women embody strength through the SBW and SW ideals, the mental health implications of each, and recommendations for therapeutically unpacking these forms of ‘strong’ womanhood using a feminist and empowerment approach.
