Multicultural Counseling in Substance Abuse: Blacks and Hispanics
[ send me this essay ]
A 16 page paper discussing the need for cultural awareness on the part of treatment personnel. Cultural characteristics can dictate individuals’ reactions to stressors and treatment, and those involved in treatment must be aware of the individual’s culture’s views of and reactions to substance abuse. One of the hallmarks of current treatment methods is to encourage and support additional education and job training, which also is more difficult to accomplish among African American and Hispanic populations. The treating clinician needs to be aware of these aftercare difficulties early on, and to take steps that seek to circumvent the cultural barriers that exist. Toward this end, this paper discusses current preferred methods of substance abuse treatment, trends in demographic changes and cultural implications among African American and Hispanic ethnic groups. It concludes that culture influences how both groups come to seek substance abuse treatment and how they react to it. Clinicians not only have to be aware of cultural differences, they also need to directly address aftercare issues of education and employment. Includes an abstract and a 1-page outline. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

Myths, Ghosts and the American Slave Psyche as Portrayed in Toni Morrison’s “Beloved”
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing myths and the acceptance of the ghost Beloved in Toni Morrison’s “Beloved”. As examination of the myths and superstitions which were believed by the American slaves were a fragment of the cultural beliefs from their African heritage and had a great effect on the psyche of the slaves. Africans and the American slaves believed that the ghosts of the dead continued to exist within the household in order to aid the families when needed and to punish them when they misbehaved; were reminders of the past; and, when the ghosts or the past were forgotten or repressed, people would suffer. The ghost Beloved in Toni Morrison’s “Beloved” is representative of many different things depending upon the perception of each character and their interpretation of what the past meant to them. The ghost is described as evil, beautiful, sad, lonely or mad depending on which characters perceive as the ghost’s representation of the past. In keeping with the African myth, the characters in the novel, Sethe in particular, must remember and account for their past in order to survive in the future. Morrison makes several comparisons of the African American psyche and the African psyche as well as the colonial effect on this psyche. In addition, “Beloved” also includes references to the classic mythical creature of the snake as a symbol of rebirth as Beloved can be perceived as Sethe’s rebirth. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Nat Huggins' "Black Odyssey: The African-American Ordeal In Slavery"
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Huggins asserts that the deforming mirror of truth originated with America's constitutional Framers and the blatant move away from democracy they demonstrated by establishing a "model totalitarian society" (Huggins PG); purposefully omitting the words 'slave' or 'slavery' when composing the Constitution clearly reflected the desire to "sanitize their new creation" (Huggins PG) and dodge "the deforming mirror of truth" (Huggins PG). According to the author, this alleged pledge towards freedom and democracy was nothing more than a veiled perpetuation of subjugation and was "a bad way to start" (Huggins PG).
