Understanding Cultural Therapy

The Background

For more than 100,000 years the various races have met with conflict. These conflicts have resulted in some of the worst tragedies humans have ever known. As a result there have been disruption in the continuity of identity, culture and power for most of the groups that have fallen victim to another.

Through victimization has arisen issues of displacement stress, sense of powerlessness, alienation, anxiety, sanity, and more as one group is dominated and made to believe and feel hopeless and helpless through the machinations of another.

The majority of the worlds People of Color are struggling to restore their identity and culture negatively impacted by Aryans (White People) particularly during the last five centuries, for some even longer. African Americans, in particular, for whom our work is focused, have a peculiar set of circumstances having been physically separated from their identity source, enslaved and mentally warred upon by their captors and dominators.
