Allen R. Miller, PhD, MBA, Executive Director, Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is widely recognized as the gold standard for the treatment of a range of mental health challenges, medical problems, and quality of life concerns (David, Cristea, & Hofmann, 2018). Decades of empirical research demonstrate its efficacy. CBT has shown to be effective in community-based settings and within population health models, highlighting its capacity to reduce overall healthcare spending while improving patient wellbeing.

The Strong Black Woman (SBW) Schema or Superwoman Schema describes strength developed out of survival and suggests a capability to manage high stress that comes with being a Black woman. As Woods-Giscombé (2010) described, being faced with racism and sexism creates a double dose of discrimination and stress. To maintain their strength, many Black women restrict their expressions of emotions to avoid being perceived as weak. This is reinforced by communication through generations and peers with statements such as “Never let them see you cry.” The SBW schema is rooted in Black women historically holding caretaking roles, whether by force or by choice: involuntarily throughout slavery, for income as one of the few jobs many were allowed to work, and personally within their immediate and extended family. This offers a mixed bag of positive and negative consequences. The belief that one can handle anything that [...]
