“…Focusing on the unique aspects and practices of counseling and counseling psychology leadership is important, as leadership is argued to be understood and enacted differently based on a leader’s professional specialty, identities, culture, discipline, system, or contextual factors (Fassinger & Shullman, 2017; Harrison, 2017; Luke & Peters, in press; McKibben et al, 2017; Peters & Vereen, 2020). Of the existing research on counseling leadership, few studies have incorporated multiculturalism, cultural responsivity, or social justice (Hargons et al, 2017; Roysircar et al, 2017; Storlie & Wood, 2014). The majority of the scholarship has focused on a general understanding of counseling leadership (Fassinger & Shullman, 2017; McKibben et al, 2017), leader profiles (Borders & Cashwell, 2014), leadership development (Gibson et al, 2018; Luke & Goodrich, 2010), and school counseling specific leadership (Peters et al, 2018).…”

“…Given that this is the first study that has sought to develop an empirical model of SJCRCL, the results provide a much needed theoretical structure with which to guide leadership practices. Having a model to understand leadership is important, as SJCRCL can be abstract and difficult to conceptualize and contextualize, even when informed by previous experience and training (Hargons et al, 2017; Roysircar et al, 2017; Singh et al, 2010). In addition, much of the literature on SJCRCL has focused on personal and skill-oriented practices and behaviors (Fassinger & Shullman, 2017; McKibben et al, 2017).…”

The purpose of this study was to develop an abstracted theory concerning how counseling and counseling psychology leaders and educators engage in and enact socially just and culturally responsive leadership in professional association and higher education contexts. This grounded theory study included 18 participants with a range of social locations and professional leadership experiences in counseling and counseling psychology associations and higher education. Findings from this study were analyzed and are presented using the Straussian tradition of grounded theory. We discuss implications for counseling leadership, training, and development; social justice, cultural responsivity, and advocacy; and future research.

“…Yet through these seemingly insurmountable barriers to leadership, research shows us Black men lead with a sense of purpose that drives personal and collective identity. They model behaviors for others to emulate (Brooms et al, 2018;Singer & Cunningham, 2018); prioritize social justice and cultural empathy (Roysircar et al, 2017), and create pathways for mentees, peers and colleagues (Bass, 2020;Smith, 2021;Sutton & Terrell, 1997). These characteristics are consistent with those of servant leadership (Eva et al, 2019;Sims, 2018).…”

“…Popularized in the last century, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and other leaders considered agapao love fundamental to the civil rights movements (Selig, 2016). The phrase we lift as we climb embodied by Black male fraternities is consistent with the motivations and behaviors of the servant leadership style (Bass, 2020;Parks, 2017;Roysircar et al, 2017;Smith, 2021;Sutton & Terrell, 1997). Moreover, this service first style of leadership, was found to be enacted by contemporary Black leaders in education and religious organizations (Alston, 2005;Bunch, 2013;Hozien, 2014).…”

“…In sociology, Cureton (2009) extrapolated leadership wisdom through an examination of roles and behaviors of Black men in gangs. In psychology, Roysircar et al (2017) explored how Black male clinicians discovered self through leadership roles, while Peters et al (2004) tested differences in leadership perceptions and problem-solving between Black men and women. Education scholars are more prone to examine Black men and leadership together, but the work often centers around position attainment (Jackson, 2006), schoolbased administration (Smith, 2021), and developing leadership capacity in youth (Collins et al, 2017).…”

The Problem Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, and other Black men (and women) successfully used servant leadership to advance U.S. civil rights. Yet, the value of these leadership practices among Black men in contemporary workplaces is not known. The decision to lead may be based upon one’s leadership self-efficacy and influenced by community and as Black men prioritize social justice and developing others, they may be servant leaders. While engaged, the role of microaggression on engagement has not been studied. Thus, research is needed on Black male leadership. The Solution This study examined whether Black men possess the antecedent of leadership efficacy, demonstrate servant leadership, experience the outcome of engagement, and microaggressions, whether microaggressions mediated and decreased their engagement, and did socio-identities function as a moderator. Using cross-sectional survey methodology, a confirmatory factor analysis and a causal model was conducted along with a post hoc ANOVA. Black men leaders were about a third of the sample ( n = 364). The structural equation modeling revealed the significant findings that leadership efficacy predicted servant leadership, servant leadership predicted engagement, and, microaggressions partially mediated engagement. Socio-identities did moderate leadership efficacy, engagement, and microaggressions but not servant leadership and the overall measurement model. The Stakeholders This study benefits HRD and other scholars and practitioners who study leadership including those with intersecting identities—African American men.

Abstract. The authors examined the experiences of nine American doctoral students completing a clinical psychology practicum in a primary care clinic in Blanchard, Haiti. This training followed natural and human-made disasters that have traumatized Haitians since the 2010 earthquake. The clinical psychology training program partnered with Haitian medical staff and the trainees provided diverse services, incorporating the use of community-based translators: individual counseling; art and play therapy groups for children; psychoeducational classes; and support groups for diabetic, cardiac, and sickle cell disorder patients. In addition, they conducted research on child disaster trauma assessment and engaged in community resilience-building conversations. The trainees wrote daily self-reflections recounting their challenges, cultural and economic differences, successes, expectations, fears, and personal and professional development. Ninety daily reflection notes were coded applying the consensual qualitative research method. A coding team identified domains and their respective categories/themes in relation to two research questions addressing doctoral clinical psychology trainees’ experiences of a practicum in Haiti and their Haitian clients’ mass trauma and responses to counseling interventions. The domains related to experiences of the Haiti practicum were Impact of Practicum Experiences in Haiti on Doctoral Trainees and Use of Translators in Global Mental Health Practice. The domains related to intervention experiences in this international trauma-affected community were Transnational Disaster Counseling, Respect for Human and Civic Rights, and Haitian Client-Specific Practice. The findings have direct implications for training in transnational disaster counseling and accessibility to services.
