Additional Recommended Resources

There are numerous ways to enhance your learning related to the experiences and histories of diverse peoples. Continued learning and self-reflection allows for the enhancement of social critical consciousness, which in turn, often improves our ability to support those around us and to better understand ourselves.

Below is a pithy, entirely non-exhaustive list of some of the books we (the McLean Hospital Multicultural Psychology Consultation Team) have found helpful in some of our own learning, development, and work. This list will continues to grow (and we welcome suggestions/input) – as of present this list includes published books that we have directly informed recent clinical work, research, training, and systems consultation.
