This article outlines an integrative, dynamic approach to stress and is, in part, a response to emergent debates within social science research and practice that suggest that African Americans are currently experiencing the reverberating psychological effects of slavery and oppression. It is the product of the work of an African-American mental health think tank situated at the Community Mental Health Council, Chicago, Illinois. We suggest the need to attend to biopsychosocial, environmental, and cultural factors that inform both exposure and responses to stress. Finally, consideration is given to matters of resiliency.
本文概述了一种综合、动态的压力应对方法,部分是对社会科学研究与实践中出现的辩论的回应,这些辩论表明非裔美国人目前正经历着奴隶制和压迫所带来的持续心理影响。它是位于伊利诺伊州芝加哥市社区心理健康委员会的一个非裔美国人心理健康智囊团的工作成果。我们建议需要关注生物心理社会、环境和文化因素,这些因素影响着压力暴露及应对。最后,本文还考虑了恢复力的问题。
