Black Families and Body Image:
The Need for a Holistic Understanding
When Treating Individuals
Charlece Bishop, MS, LMFT
Extensive studies focus on body image and the consequences for mental health. Unfortunately, a scarcity of research examined body image within the context of Black families’ experiences. Issues surrounding body images among Black people must be understood within the broader historical and familial experiences in which they exist. Too often, therapists focus on treating Black people who struggle with body image without understanding the unique experiences of Black families. This presentation centers on the history of and role of the Black family as an integral part in understanding how one might begin to approach treating body image issues among Black clients.
At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Understand historical and cultural roles of the Black family when offering therapy to Black clients faced with body image issues.
- Identify social media’s role on body image within Black families.
- Utilize at least two psychoeducational tools and techniques when conducting therapy with Black clients and families.
