Igniting Collective Freedom: An Integrative Behavioral Model of Acceptance and Commitment Toward Black Liberation.

Denisha Gingles
Published in: Behavior analysis in practice (2021)
Racism continues to reveal disastrous effects on the Black community. There exists no behavior-analytic literature with a specific focus on ending Black psychological suffering due to continual acts of violence perpetrated against the community. I present a behavioral model to promote Black psychological liberation, infusing preestablished frameworks of Black psychology and cultural healing practices with acceptance and commitment therapy. The model addresses behaviors observed within systemic and internalized racism.
