Mainstream treatments of anger often neglect its contextual factors, potentially invalidating the legitimate grievances of marginalized people. This paper challenges these views by examining existing literature, and rethinks the role of anger by placing it within the contexts of social power structures. It argues that anger-related processes can constitute <i>affective injustice</i>, further perpetuating systemic oppression and injustice. To advance sociocultural competency in treating anger among marginalized people, this paper offers practical guidance, such as the role of client autonomy in the anger treatment process and a systemic conceptualization of anger rooted in systems theory. It also recommends key directions for future research, such as the intersectionality of anger regulation among marginalized communities. Ultimately, the paper is not about introducing novel models or interventions for treating anger but rather seeks to shift the focus from merely approaching anger as a clinical problem to addressing its systemic roots, empowering clinicians to incorporate these factors into the treatment process.</p>","PeriodicalId":16320,"journal":{"name":"Journal of marital and family therapy","volume":"51 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jmft.70018","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Internalized racial oppression (IRO) and the paths through which it negatively impacts mental health have received considerably lesser attention. In this cross-sectional study with 226 self-identified Black participants, we focus on colonial mentality, as a form of IRO, and its association to depression. We argue that this detrimental effect happens because IRO limits the access to social identity resources, at both levels of the family system and wider society. The results revealed that the communication/problem-solving dimension of family resilience mediated the effect of colonial mentality on depression. Support for the Black Lives Matter movement, a measure for collective action, was also a significant mediator but was, however, positively associated with depression. This study is the first to quantitatively assess IRO's consequences on the mental health of Black individuals in a postcolonial European country.

Additionally, nonaffirmation significantly moderated the negative relationship between gender-related rejection and suicide ideation.
