    Therapists Challenging Racism and Oppression

    Please join us to celebrate the book Therapists Challenging Racism and Oppression: The unheard voices at TA East on Saturday 9th November from 6.30-8.30pm.

    We will be joined by editor Neelam Zahid, along with chapter contributors.

    The gathering will include readings and reflections from the editors and contributors, time for your questions and book signings, along with refreshments and mingling, from 6.30-8.30pm.

    All practitioners, trainees and those interested in decolonising and anti-oppressive therapy are welcome. Limited copies of the book will be available on the night to purchase.

    This unique collection of experiences of racism within the field of psychotherapy breaks the silence of the racialised and intersectional trauma practitioners have held. It brings together personal, psychological, societal and political insights to better imagine and further the discourse around what might facilitate meaningful change.

    Appreciation for the book:

    “Bold, passionate, clear and unapologetic in its challenge to oppression, it marks another historical turning point in the evolution and decolonisation of the psychotherapeutic profession” - Prof Divine Charura

    “A courageous, tangible plethora of voices previously hidden embody and analyse experiences that highlight the duality of being inside identity while in training and practice” Dr Isha Mckenzie-Mavinga

  • A group of ten people, diverse in appearance, standing and kneeling inside a room with wooden paneling and large religious paintings on the walls.
