Synopsis

In her groundbreaking book, Dr. Rhea Almeida offers an original, powerful, and clear roadmap for grappling with the legacies of coloniality and white privilege. Almeida not only challenges standard therapeutic practice that focuses on individual diagnosis and separates the client from their family and larger societal contexts, she also presents strategies to empower clients in their therapeutic process. Through her innovative approach centered in healing circles and collective accountability, Almeida shows how collaboration results in a direct challenge to the legacies of power, privilege, and oppression. With support from trained therapists and their healing circles, clients are able to break through ingrained beliefs and heal. Therapists, in turn, learn how individuals, family systems, institutions, history, and current sociopolitical factors intersect. Numerous case studies and diagrams provide context. Scholars, clinicians, community workers, and students will find that Liberation Based Healing Practices will transform their work and practice, as well of those of their clients and communities.
