Scholars and practitioners who want to integrate intersectionality need to navigate these critiques to maximize its effectiveness and minimize its potential pitfalls. We examine critiques and extensions of intersectionality, particularly as they apply to mental health theory and practice. We focus on two particular cases, namely assemblage theory and decolonial intersectionality, to discuss ways in which extensions of intersectionality can promote a broader, more inclusive model of intersectional social justice and well-being.","PeriodicalId":46696,"journal":{"name":"Women & Therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2020-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02703149.2020.1729477","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49293576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, I revisit some primary tools of intersectional analysis and underscore their relevance to critical training. I then sketch out a flexible typology of what intersectionality is and, more consequentially, what it is not. Next, I consider how intersectionality can help to reimagine the relationships between complementary and competing paradigms in multicultural feminist theory. Finally, I extend Cole’s three-question framework for intersectional research in psychology to develop practical questions that might deepen psychology’s engagement with intersectionality at the level of critical pedagogy.","PeriodicalId":46696,"journal":{"name":"Women & Therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2020-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02703149.2020.1729473","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45733718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building on my own standpoint as a researcher of LGBTQ + intersectional identity development, I present a 5-week experiential learning unit designed to foster clinical psychology doctoral students’ applied understanding of how cultural humility, critical cultural awareness, self-other awareness and compassion, and client-clinician intersectionality interactively impact clinical research and practice.","PeriodicalId":46696,"journal":{"name":"Women & Therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2020-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02703149.2020.1729472","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41510105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
