Author Monnica T. Williams
Reviews and Awards
"Williams outlines practical steps to evaluate one's own relative privileges, understand how those privileges may be unconsciously leveraged against more marginalized individuals, and work to reduce the interpersonal harm that may be caused through operation of unconscious biases. This is a solid foundation for further exploration of microaggressions and racism more broadly, particularly with respect to intersectionality." - A. T. Moody, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Choice
"In this fantastic resource, Dr. Williams provides clear examples of how to identify, prevent, and respond to microagressions in therapy (and daily life). Managing Microaggressions: Addressing Everyday Racism in Therapeutic Spaces will be required reading for all therapist trainees I supervise, and I believe that clinicians at any career stage will benefit from Dr. Williams' wisdom." " - CJ Seitz-Brown, PhD, Assistant Clinical Professor, University of Maryland, College Park
"This book is an important reference for instructors, clinicians, and researchers regarding microaggressions, and brings needed clarity to common misconceptions on the topic. Dr. Williams has used her extensive expertise and knowledge of microaggressions to provide practical vignettes, clinical dialogues, and discussion prompts that will enrich practice and teaching." " - Matthew D. Skinta, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychology, Roosevelt University
