From initial access to telemedicine services to the ongoing launch of vaccines, outcomes have demonstrated a lack of equity.

What I Mean When I Say I Don’t Know How I Am

Blurt It Out

“How are you?” is a question many of us are familiar with. It’s probably the question we get asked more often than any other. Many of us automatically respond with ‘fine thanks, you?’, because that’s the response we’ve learned to give. It’s the response we heard the adults around us trot out each time they.

Society of Clinical Psychology

Often times the field of clinical psychology assumes a “deficit-based” approach to minority mental health.

Mmm, that sounds rather dramatic, doesn’t it?

psychotherapy's moral bite: on deactivating the projection of will

Clinical Philosophy

What distinguishes the master therapist? I've long suspected that an important aspect of such a therapist is her moral seriousness. By that phrase - moral seriousness - I mean something quite specific. Rather than define it I'd like to first say what I don't mean by it, and to then allow the sense of it to emerge from an example. So, what I don't mean is moral shrillness, or moralising, or a failure of empathy, or an absence of the light touch, or an inability to take oneself less than seriously
