An Introduction to Black Psychology is designed to help students develop a strong intellectual orientation and practice of Black psychology.

In Section II, students learn critical frameworks for the theoretical and political application of Black psychology, with readings addressing mental health, African American personality, colorblindness, and more. The readings in Section III examine the formation of Black identity within the contexts of child development, immigration, and education. The final section focuses on research methods and methodology, preparing students to meaningfully contribute to the discipline of Black psychology. Written for students of all backgrounds, An Introduction to Black Psychology is an ideal textbook for courses in psychology, Black psychology, social work, and any other course that prepares individuals to counsel Black populations.

African Americans and Jungian Psychology: Leaving the Shadows explores the little-known racial relationship between the African diaspora and C.G. Jung’s analytical psychology. In this unique book, Fanny Brewster explores the culture of Jungian psychology in America and its often-difficult relationship with race and racism. Beginning with an examination of how Jungian psychology initially failed to engage African Americans, and continuing to the modern use of the Shadow in language and imagery, Brewster creates space for a much broader discussion regarding race and racism in America. Using Jung’s own words, Brewster establishes a timeline of Jungian perspectives on African Americans from the past to the present. She explores the European roots of analytical psychology and its racial biases, as well as the impact this has on contemporary society. The book also expands our understanding of the negative impact of racism in American psychology, beginning a dialogue and proposing how we might change our thinking and behaviors to create a twenty-first-century Jungian psychology that recognizes an American multicultural psyche and a positive African American culture. African Americans and Jungian Psychology: Leaving the Shadows explores the positive contributions of African culture to Jung’s theories and will be essential reading for analytical psychologists, academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies, African American studies, and American studies.

"History of Psychology in the Black Experience Perspectives uniquely approaches the history of human psychology by weaving together the psychological elements of ancient Egyptians. The psychological contents of the medieval and contemporary sub-Saharan Africans and the psychological experiences of Diasporan Africans were woven into the annals and systems of human psychology. The text reviews the manner by which the early Europeans took ideas and institutions from the ancient Blacks and how they changed these ideas and principles to create a psychology in their own perspectives. The book explores the psychological ideas and achievements of medieval Africans, presents the historical contributions of African-centered psychology or "psycho-Africalysis" in a unique manner, and outlines the collaborations of the continuous work, research and developments among continental African, Diasporan African and good faith Euro-American psychologists. The book is ideal for courses in the history and systems of psychology, African continental psychology, African American psychology, and the psychology of Black experience."--Publisher's website.
