There is a large body of research on the importance of addressing culture in psychotherapy. However, less is known about providing critically conscious and racially affirmative therapy for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) clients in the context of ongoing systemic racism and racism-related stress and trauma, especially in the sociopolitical context of the United States. This article introduces and illustrates the using a sample therapy session. To contextualize the therapeutic approach, we outline the need for antiracist and liberatory approaches to psychotherapy and describe in detail the theoretical framework. The clinical stance that underpins the includes helping clients develop, internalize, and nurture (a) Critical Consciousness, (b) Cultural Authenticity and Self-Knowledge, (c) Radical Hope and Envisioning Possibilities, (d) Collectivism, and (e) Strength and Resistance. To better meet the needs of BIPOC clients, the stance requires clinicians to develop their critical consciousness of systemic racism and interlocking forms of oppression. The clinical case of "Brenda," a Black woman experiencing the effects of racism-related stress while raising a young Black boy, is presented.

关于在心理治疗中考虑文化因素的重要性，已有大量研究。然而，在持续存在的系统性种族主义以及与种族主义相关的压力和创伤背景下，尤其是在美国的社会政治背景下，为黑人、原住民和有色人种（BIPOC）客户提供具有批判性意识和种族肯定性的治疗，这方面的了解却较少。本文通过一个示例治疗环节来介绍和阐释[具体治疗方法名称未给出]。为了将这种治疗方法置于具体情境中，我们概述了心理治疗采用反种族主义和解放性方法的必要性，并详细描述了[具体治疗方法名称未给出]的理论框架。支撑[具体治疗方法名称未给出]的临床立场包括帮助客户培养、内化并培育：（a）批判性意识；（b）文化本真性和自我认知；（c）激进希望与展望可能性；（d）集体主义；以及（e）力量与抵抗。为了更好地满足BIPOC客户的需求，这一立场要求临床医生培养他们对系统性种族主义和相互交织的压迫形式的批判性意识。文中呈现了“布伦达”的临床案例，她是一位黑人女性，在抚养一个年轻黑人男孩的同时，正经历着与种族主义相关的压力带来的影响。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2023美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
