“…For over 100 years, White saviorism in psychology has involved majority White individuals exploiting minoritized children and families’ vulnerability when trapped in the juvenile justice, child protective services, and other oppressive settings (Chávez-García, 2015; Fettes et al, 2021). A pattern emerges: measure, assess, and intervene in order to police and control behavior; imagine links between race, heredity, and criminality or deficiency; and reinforce the racist systems conspiring to ensure racial minorities’ demise while expanding psychology’s and its White saviors’ spheres of influence.…”

“…Notably, the purview of White saviorism in psychology is limited to minoritized people only (Chávez-García, 2015; Fettes et al, 2021). It has never involved White psychologists saving their own White kin deranged enough to shoot up churches and nightclubs, drive through crowds, or storm the Capitol building—or suggesting their parents should have raised them or managed their behaviors differently.…”

This paper introduces a historically informed antiracist approach to psychological practice aimed at disrupting American psychology’s legacy of racism by first saying “No More” to the whiteness engulfing it. Its end goal is to detour psychological practices away from enduring legacies of oppression, reimagine psychological practice as an antiracist endeavor, and extricate the deep-seated structural whiteness rotting the profession at its core. No more building resiliency takes aim at the White discourses directing people suffering under the weight of White supremacy to bear it instead of compelling mental health professions to dismantle the systems of oppression causing the harm. Seven historical themes reveal how organized psychology has shaped and been shaped by racism and whiteness since its inception. By identifying the language and strategies used to cover up and sustain the racist harm by design, the themes provide starting points for antiracist psychological practices that interrogate and dismantle both forms of oppression. They issue the imperative for a critical, transparent, and transgressive psychology of the future, one that requires not a revision of existing practices, rather a complete redo. The closing section imagines where we go from here by offering immediate action steps for bringing this antiracist future closer within reach.
