Decolonizing Therapy

Oppression, Historical Trauma, and Politicizing Your Practice

by Jennifer Mullan

Although this book is written primarily for therapists and other primary care providers, it reaches beyond the clinical world.

Mullan shows how modern therapeutic models are built within colonial systems, and she invites the reader to examine how power, history, and intergenerational trauma shape our inner experience and our relationships with each other.

This book doesn’t apply directly to my work as an editor, but it is a good reminder of how we carry the legacies of colonization into our everyday interactions.

(The print book and ebook are thoughtfully designed, with clear headings, lists, and varied font styles for accessibility.

By contrast, the audiobook is hard to follow, especially because the citations are read aloud as part of the running text.)
