“This book is a profound and practical invitation to reflect on the impact of racism and inequality on individuals and on society, and to address these realities in compassionate practice across settings. From modern conceptual frameworks to exploring our own power and privilege, the book offers clear, actionable ways to enhance how we help others. I especially appreciate the 'Things to Remember' that round out each chapter. This is an essential guide to bringing an antiracist multicultural orientation to therapeutic work, particularly with BIPOC clients.”

“Bulls and Naar deliver a transformative guide to elevate behavioral health beyond the limits of traditional cultural competency. The AMCO framework provides practitioners and trainees with a roadmap for actively naming and disrupting structural oppression in clinical practice. Longitudinal case studies and sample dialogues are incorporated throughout the book, together with actionable strategies for reframing evidence-based practices like cognitive-behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. Antiracist Behavioral Health Practice bridges the gap between high-level theory and real-world therapy.”
