Essential “Aziboist” Considerations for Diagnosing and Counseling People of African Descent (The Revitalization of African-centered Psychology: A Suite of 9 Texts) Paperback – Large Print, July 10, 2024

Of all the mental well-being enterprises, professional counseling is the largest. Its impact on people’s lives and society seems inestimable. The psycho-cultural fallout betiding African descent people (ADP) for centuries across generations across the earth resulting from enslavement, colonialism, and every other manifestation and vestige of subjection to Eurasian hegemonic supremacy occurring today and yesterday has visibly visited Isfet on their societies, families, and psyches. The presence of Isfet—a Kemetic term referring to society-wide psycho-cultural-social breakdown inclusive of madness, the rise in anti-spirituality values, and a decline in morality traceable to the duress of the influences from Eurasian civilization contributing to the destruction of African civilization—among ADP is a grave indication of the need for both serious counseling in the populace and counseling professionals to seriously relook at their professionalism as it concerns ADP. About the latter, there is something rotten in the state of Denmark. Therefore, this book is about the proper counseling of ADP. Specific prominent issues covered are the nature of African human nature, counseling treatment and counselor training, the mental health definition, evidence-based practice, multiculturalism, cultural competence, a new approach designed for African descent students, humanistic versus African-centered ethical clashing, approach to LGBQT-ism and sexual orientation, counseling violence, socially engineering or setting afoot aright the new African, engaging mass media communications/imagery, own-life taking, defense mechanism functioning and defensive behavior, colorism, skin bleaching and lightening, materialistic and general depression, self-destructive disorder (crack-cocaine), social desirability, and the structure of “primary territories”. Moreover, the issues are covered unabashedly and explicitly from African civilization standpoints. Counselors are enjoined to make themselves knowledgeable of the African-centered posture on these pressing issues with all deliberate speed and only then embrace and engage in treatment and training or not. The reality of Isfet demands counselors do no less than come again in order to help overturn ADP as things have fallen apart indeed. This book provides an alternative look at many leading counseling matters pertaining to ADP—this time from the irrefragable African center pursuant to the re-birth of genuinely centered African civilization!
