Ubuntu Psychology: Addressing the Transgenerational Trauma of Afrikan/Black People introduces a paradigm for understanding and treating psychological health amongst Afrikan people, informed by a distinct Afrikan worldview. The book describes Ubuntu Psychology as a mental health model and the practice of Ubuntu psychotherapy, grounded in the philosophy of Ubuntu, a Zulu concept reflecting community interconnectedness and humanity towards others. This model is presented as a vital framework for more effective psychotherapeutic interventions, especially for those of Afrikan descent.

The core content revolves around culturally sensitive practice in mental health service delivery, addressing the unique psycho-spiritual challenges faced by Afrikan Americans as well as other diasporic Afrikans. It explores the necessity to incorporate an understanding of Afrikan peoples' essence, experiences, and worldview into the healing process. It also discusses a healing paradigm comprised of Remembering, Reminding, Reframing, Revitalizing, and Re-normalizing within the context of Afrikan and Black experiences.

Ubuntu Psychology is well-suited for programs and courses in counseling, psychology, social work, criminal justice, mental health, cultural studies, and Afrikan studies. The approach it advocates provides essential knowledge for mental health professionals, particularly those working with clients of Afrikan ancestry.
