Considerations for Counselors Working With Black Males in Career Development
Abstract
Abstract In this chapter, the authors offer an overview of topics to consider when delivering career counseling to Black male clients. Topics include racism, racial battle fatigue, and other influences in the counseling relationship with Black male clients; however, the space to address all aspects of working with Black male clients is limited in the manuscript. Thus, this chapter concludes with a therapeutic approach that is culturally appropriate to work with Black males seeking career development assistance. The authors also offer implications for practice, policy, and research.
