We reached a point in our graduate psychotherapy class when we learned about social justice therapy. I have been looking forward to this module as I finally had the space to reintroduce it after three years of shortened semesters due to the pandemic. Psychotherapy has long been criticized as being too focused on the individual and assuming that the individual just needs to develop enough resilience to be able to overcome their problems. The social justice lens puts broader social contexts front and center in the therapeutic encounter.
