At this critical juncture in global politics, this reflection on the polarization of entrenched attitudes provides clear thinking, rational debate, and de-escalating strategies. Built for helping professionals, counsellors, psychologists, social workers, ministers, educators, nurses, and health practitioners. This is your how-to and go-to text for gaining minority infused and informed skills to address prejudicial patterns and post-trauma recovery in homophobia, racism, and other forms of prejudice. Inspiring and powerful reading during these troubling times when basic human rights cannot be taken for granted.
