Dr. Joseph White was affectionately referred to as “the father of Black psychology.” His seminal article “Toward a Black Psychology” articulated a strengths-based conceptual description toward understanding Black behavior and culture. He challenged the White orthodoxy in psychology while also serving to empower other non-White racial and ethnic groups to speak their unique psychological and cultural truths. In this article, we discuss his impact and scholarly legacy and how he used Black psychology as a bridge to build multicultural alliances and to support the professional development of students and young professional across race and ethnicity.

迈向黑人（和多元化）心理学：约瑟夫怀特的学术遗产

约瑟夫怀特博士被亲切地称为“黑人心理学之父”。他的开创性文章“走向黑人心理学”阐明了一种基于优势的概念描述，以理解黑人的行为和文化。他在心理学上挑战了白人的正统观念，同时也帮助其他非白人种族和族裔群体说出他们独特的心理和文化真相。在本文中，我们讨论了他的影响力和学术遗产，以及他如何利用黑人心理学作为建立多元文化联盟的桥梁，并支持跨种族和民族的学生和年轻专业人士的专业发展。
