A powerful new study provides a Womanist theological framework to understand high levels of depression in Black women.
In a remarkable and poignant series of case studies, clinical social worker and ordained minister Rochelle Johnson provides a cogent study of the causes and effects of depression in Black woman in contemporary America.
Inspired by Womanist theology and the insights of the pioneering psychoanalytic theories of Heinz Kohut, she shows how societal and historical barriers hinder the healing journeys of Black women thanks to the lack of mental health resources and systemic racism. By examining Black women's experiences at the intersection of oppression, trauma, culture, and church life, she demonstrates how historical trauma, racist myths, and harmful theological interpretations intensify the unique difficulties they encounter.
