Racism
▪ (a system) Racism: A system of privilege and disadvantage
on the basis of race
▪ (within individuals) Internalized/Appropriated Racism: Acceptance of negative messages about ability and intrinsic
worth by members of oppressed groups.
▪ (within an institution) Institutional Racism: Unfair and
disparate norms, policies, and procedures within an
organization on the basis of race
▪ (across institutions) Structural Racism: Unfair and disparate
norms, policies, and procedures across institutions on the
basis of race, which accumulates and compounds inequities.

White Supremacy
System of structural or societal racism which
privileges white people over others, regardless of
the presence or the absence of racial hatred. White
racial advantages occur at both a collective and
an individual level, and both people of color and
white people can perpetuate white dominant
culture, resulting in the overall disenfranchisement of
people of color in many aspects of society.

Race Based Traumatic Stress (Bryant-Davis, 2007)
▪ Emotional injury that is motivated by hate or fear of a
person or group of people as a result of their race
▪ Racially motivated stressor that overwhelms a person’s
capacity to cope
▪ Racially motivated, interpersonal severe stressor that
causes bodily harm or threatens one’s life integrity; or
▪ Severe interpersonal or institutional stressor motivated
by racism that causes fear, helplessness or horror.

Dadlani’s Cultural Principles
▪ All Patients Have Social Identities and Are Affected by
Cultural Contexts
▪ Multiple Social Identities Are Experienced Simultaneously
▪ All Clinicians Have Privileged and Marginalized Social
Identities that Influence Diagnosis and Treatment
▪ The Therapeutic Relationship Is a Cultural Context That Is
Informed by the Social Identities of Both Patient and
Therapist

Think about….(adapted from Hays, 2016)
▪ How culture has influenced who you are, how you see yourself
and how clients see you
▪ How do these influences affect your comfort with or feelings
about certain groups?
▪ What is the relationship between your visible identity and your
self-identification, and how is this influenced by cultural context?
▪ What kinds of assumptions are clients likely to make about your
based on your visible identity, your sociocultural context, and the
information you share?
▪ How might your areas of privilege affect your work (e.g., clinical
judgments, theoretical preferences, views of clients, beliefs about
health care)?

experience in a racially stratified society that
often go unnoticed or taken for granted
❑ This privilege tends to be special and
unchecked
❑ White privilege and its invisibility
❑ In the United States, whiteness frames

White
Privilege?Weathering
▪ Term derived by Arline Geronimus
▪ Continuous discrimination distresses
the body and speeds up aging at the
cellular level
▪ Increases susceptibility of blacks to
diseases like diabetes and
hypertension
▪ These findings have led some
healthcare researchers to suggest that
the experience of being a black
woman in America is, itself, a risk
factor

Among their findings:
▪ Some evidence suggests that bias, prejudice, and stereotyping
on the part of healthcare providers may contribute to
differences in care.
▪ The vast majority [of studies] indicated that minorities are less
likely than whites to receive needed services, including
clinically necessary procedures.

Racial Bias in Pain Assessment and Treatment Recommendations, and False
Beliefs About Biological Differences between Blacks and Whites.
“Second, they reveal that a substantial number of white people—laypersons
with no medical training and medical students and residents—hold beliefs
about biological differences between blacks and whites, many of which are
false and even fantastical in nature.”
“Beliefs that blacks and whites are fundamentally and biologically different
have been prevalent in various forms for centuries. In the United States, these
beliefs were championed by scientists, physicians, and slave owners alike to
justify slavery and the inhumane treatment of black men and women in
medical research (20–25).

Racial Bias in Pain Assessment and Treatment Recommendations, and False
Beliefs About Biological Differences between Blacks and Whites.
“Extant research has shown that, relative to
white patients, black patients are less likely to
be given pain medications and, if given pain
medications, they receive lower quantities”
“…recent work suggests that racial bias in
pain treatment may stem, in part, from
racial bias in perceptions of others’ pain”

The Role of Acute and Chronic Discrimination
"Exposure to interpersonal discrimination has also been implicated in important

aging such as higher allostatic load scores and shorter telomeres (Brody et al.
