Centering liberation, justice, and cultural wisdom in the heart of relational work, this book provides a comprehensive and integrative examination of human development and the family life cycle through a decolonized, anti‑racist, and intersectional lens.
Written by a diverse collection of practitioners, educators, and scholars, tht book challenges the colonial roots of foundational family therapy models and offers bold alternatives that center agency, community, and healing. Chapters discuss essential topics such as family development and stages of the life cycle, relationship norms, gender and sexuality, neurovariance, grief and loss, healing, and more – all while exploring the ways in which systemic inequalities shape the lived experiences of individuals and families from diverse backgrounds. With real‑life stories and perspectives, this book provides essential practical guidance and tools to help mental health practitioners navigate and resist systemic barriers in their work and support an ongoing practice that fosters more inclusive, equitable, and responsive therapeutic relationships.
This book offers a new path forward for anyone who wants to practice healing in ways that are culturally affirming, politically conscious, and radically human. It is an essential resource for graduate students and practitioners in mental health programs seeking to develop their skills in working with diverse families.
