“…[135][136][137][138][139][140][141][142][143][144][145][146][147] A tension-reduction hypothesis 135,136 suggests that substance use in communities of color could be related to affective anxiety or depression states associated with social stressors such as racial discrimination that increase the motivation to self-medicate. Chronic states of physiological reactivity might exacerbate the psychological distress.…”

Social Inequality and Racial Discrimination: Risk Factors for Health Disparities in Children of Color

et al. 2009

A child's sense of control over life and health outcomes as well as perceptions of the world as fair, equal, and just are significantly influenced by his or her social experiences and environment. Unfortunately, the social environment for many children of color includes personal and family experiences of racial discrimination that foster perceptions of powerlessness, inequality, and injustice. In turn, these perceptions may influence child health outcomes and disparities by affecting biological functioning (eg, cardiovascular and immune function) and the quality of the parent-child relationship and promoting psychological distress (eg, self-efficacy, depression, anger) that can be associated with risk-taking and unhealthy behaviors. In this article we review existing theoretical models and empirical studies of the impact of racial discrimination on the health and development of children of color in the United States. On the basis of this literature, a conceptual model of exposure to racial discrimination as a chronic stressor and a risk factor for poor health outcomes and child health disparities is presented.

“…Research indicates that the working alliance is a consistent predictor of treatment completion among substance users (Barber et al, 2001;Luborsky et al, 1997). Unfortunately, findings that these clients often perceive negative and prejudicial attitudes on the part of their therapists and treatment staff (Bass & Jackson, 1997;Cournoyer et al, 2007;Dalton, 2001;Lewis, 2004;Rhodes & Johnson, 1997;Roberts & Nishimoto, 2006;Sanchez-Hucles, 2001) suggest that there exists a significant barrier for professionals in developing strong working alliances with this group.…”

“…Moreover, as reviewed earlier, negative therapist attitudes have been identified as a significant programmatic barrier to treatment retention with AfA women with substance use disorders (Lewis, 2004;Rhodes & Johnson, 1997;Roberts & Nishimoto, 2006). Consequently, the identification of therapist characteristics facilitative of a positive working alliance with the target population could ultimately lead to the mitigation of a significant barrier to retention and improved treatment retention rates for this vulnerable group.…”

Emergent findings specific to African American women confirm that their substance user treatment retention rates are significantly lower than other groups, which is problematic given that substance user treatment is effective largely to the extent that clients are retained in treatment. This article reviews existing literature concerning disparities in treatment retention, highlights a significant barrier to treatment retention for this population, and presents support for an empirical focus on culturally responsive working alliance development as a promising step toward improving retention rates for African American women substance users.

“…Depuis les vingt dernières années, la thérapie féministe telle qu'elle est conceptualisée et mise en oeuvre aux États-Unis s'est passablement enrichie en intégrant ce nouveau cadre d'analyse qui reconnaît les effets entrecroisés des systèmes d'oppression et de privilège (Hill et Ballou, 1998 ;Rhodes et Johnson, 1997 ;Raja, 1998 ;Worell et Johnson, 2001 ;Williams, 1999 ;Wyche, 2001 (Worell et Remer, 2003 ;Wyche, 2001). …”

“…En outre, l'intervention féministe remodelée sous l'angle de l'intersectionnalité NPS, vol. 19, n o 1 se veut holistique (Rhodes et Johnson, 1997 ;Williams, 1999) et, à l'instar de l'approche élaborée dans les années 1980, ces pratiques et stratégies d' intervention pourraient se révéler tout aussi hétéroclites.…”

Depuis la fin des années 1980, l’efficacité théorique et mobilisatrice de la pensée féministe, fréquemment dépeinte comme « blanche » et occidentale, a été remise en cause notamment par des féministes afro-américaines, hispano-américaines et indiennes. À l’intérieur même des études féministes et du mouvement des femmes émerge donc un questionnement sur la capacité du féminisme à prendre en compte l’hétérogénéité des statuts sociaux et des expériences des femmes. En d’autres termes, le féminisme est remis en question quant à sa capacité à élaborer une analyse de l’oppression des femmes qui reconnaît les effets conjugués du sexisme, du racisme, du « classisme » ou encore de l’homophobie. Dans le présent article, nous exposons dans un premier temps les principales critiques émises par des féministes noires et d’autres issues de groupes minoritaires à l’endroit du mouvement des femmes. Dans un deuxième temps, nous mettons en perspective le point de vue de chercheures et de thérapeutes féministes américaines ayant renouvelé leur vision et leurs pratiques d’intervention à la lumière de ces critiques. Dans un troisième temps sera précisée la signification du concept d’intersectionnalité, tel qu’il émerge dans la littérature féministe et, dans un quatrième temps, nous examinons l’apport de ce nouveau paradigme à l’intervention féministe appliquée auprès des femmes victimes de violence conjugale. En conclusion, nous signalerons quelques-uns des enjeux et des défis que pose l’intégration de l’approche intersectionnelle à l’intervention féministe.
