Through compelling case studies, Kathryn S. K. Hall illustrates how core therapeutic skills such as empathy and active listening can be effectively employed to navigate sexual topics with confidence and sensitivity.

By doing so, clinicians can enhance patient outcomes and cultivate deeper, more meaningful therapeutic relationships.

The Fight of His Life: Joe Louis's Battle for Freedom During World War II
by Randy Roberts Johnny SmithThe boxing champion whose fight against the Nazis in and out of the ring made him a global icon &“A sharp, hard-hitting, beautifully written account of one of the greatest sports figures in all American history.&”―Jonathan Eig, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of King: A Life During the 1930s and 1940s, no African American athlete commanded the spotlight more than heavyweight boxer Joe Louis. His 1938 knockout victory over German Max Schmeling struck an early blow against Nazi Germany. But it was Louis&’s service in the looming war that transformed him from a patriotic role model into history&’s first prominent Black athlete turned activist. In The Fight of His Life, award-winning sports historians Johnny Smith and Randy Roberts tell the story of heavyweight champion Joe Louis&’s battles both in and out of the ring. Already world-famous at the outset of World War II, Louis enlisted in the army, serving as a goodwill ambassador and promoting unity across military bases that crackled with racial tension.

Once the war ended, he joined veterans and civil rights activists to fight for voting rights and racial equality. Expertly revising the life story of one of America&’s most iconic Black athletes, Smith and Roberts&’s biography celebrates Joe Louis&’s forgotten fight against fascism abroad and racism at home.

In the final stretch of his doctoral internship, Dr. Jonathan Mathias Lassiter had just one more milestone to complete—the diversity project—where candidates insert themselves into a situation in which they&’d experience what it&’s like to be a minority.

In How I Know White People Are Crazy and Other Stories, Dr. Lassiter pulls back the curtain on the mental health system and reveals the hurdles that Black psychologists and students are forced to endure in the field.

Six years ago, Cinnamon Scott was a young writer on the rise in New York City. But since the sudden loss of her parents, she's been stuck in place, retreating to a life of endless partying—made possible by the massive fortune she's inherited.

But now, with Rosie living in London and about to give birth to twins, Cinnamon feels more lost than ever. When Rosie is put on bedrest, Cinnamon flies to her sister's side, where she's temporarily living at The Savoy. Immediately swept away by the beauty and history of the legendary hotel and its famed American Bar, Cinnamon finds ample opportunity to distract herself. When the late shift bartender tells her the story of Ada Coleman, the woman who crafted the cocktail recipes The Savoy popularized in its famous handbook a century ago, Cinnamon is inspired by the bartender's vivid stories of Ada's fearlessness and can't understand why Ada's name is nowhere to be found. After meeting a handsome historian researching the hotel and realizing that Ada is likely to be once again overlooked, Cinnamon must decide if she can overcome her demons and stand up for Ada's story. And, along the way, she might just save her own story too.
