Summary:The impetus for this Special Issue of Women and Therapy began with a desire to focus on exploring the impact of stereotypes that shape the lived experiences and psychological health of Black women and girls. Black women have long articulated the "at the same times" of their Black racial identity and female-gendered experience to inform the ways they live in the world. In this Special Issue, we have drawn together 15 articles that articulate intersectional, feminist/womanist responses to name and address the concerns and needs of Black women and girls. The articles are a diverse presentation of theory and research relative to the current thinking of the emotional lives of Black women and girls. It includes articles that can add to that perspective through historical and theoretical framing, alongside quantitative and qualitative analysis, extending ideas to findings that support recommendations for clinical work through direct service to clients, as well as, training and supervision in preparation for clinical practice.
