Summary:

African-American couples face unique challenges in fostering relationships. This video helps clinicians and those working with African-American couples identify specific threats to intimacy that may be operating in their relationships and may be outside the couple's awareness. Emphasizing the importance of recognizing and laying the groundwork to neutralize these threats, this program covers constructions of Black sexuality, gender stereotypes, SES issues, an unbalanced sex ratio, the extended family, mistrust, and several other identified threats. It also explains that any counseling professional working with African-American couples must be aware of and understand how to help the couple work with these damaging threats.
