In Mental Health among African Americans: Innovations in Research and Practice, Erlanger A. Turner presents a new theoretical framework for understanding mental health disparities that emphasizes the need for culturally sensitive clinical practices and integration of Afrocentric values in order to address the lower rates of African Americans seeking treatment in the United States. Turner traces this reluctance to the unethical scientific research practices that characterized experiments in recent history, like the well-known Tuskegee Syphilis study, and stresses the need for providers to address race-related stress.

“In Mental Health Among African Americans: Innovations in Research and Practice, Dr. Erlanger Turner has done a fine job of capturing both the smaller and bigger picture contexts, historical and contemporary, within which to understand, appreciate, and subsequently respond, to the mental health and wellness needs of African American and traditionally marginalized communities. Provided herein is a thought-provoking and engaging narrative aimed at promoting honest self-reflection, critical thinking and the need for tailored approaches that align best with the concerns and specific needs of African Americans. This important work also doubles as an invitation for scholars, practitioners, and consultants to translate their contemplative musings on this important topic into responsible advocacy that fuels action toward real change.”
