This book offers information and knowledge on what anti-oppressive, clinical practice is and teaches skills to facilitate effective antiracist service provision. Each chapter will provide basic knowledge, followed by reflective questions and exercises for critical analysis, case examples for practice, and tools for implementing these skill sets. Social workers need to understand clinical theory and develop practice skills with clients, families, and communities who have historical trauma, experiences with systemic oppression, and multiple intersectional identities. Learning how to increase practitioner self-awareness, engage in strategic action, and improve accountability are the beginnings of an antiracist clinical practice. %K Intersectional practice, critical praxis, antiracist positioning, clinical social work practice, Merging Clinical Social Work Practice and Antiracist Positioning, How to be a Clinically Sound, Antiracist Social Work Practitioner, Wendy Ashley %G English
