ABSTRACT In addition to the normal developmental tasks, racial and ethnic minority youth may experience other unique challenges that are related to their social, cultural, and structural positions in the US. Specifically, African American adolescents are at increased risk for dropping out of schools and engaging in health risk behaviors due to contextual stressors such as poverty, neighborhood disorder, community violence, and racial discrimination. Group counseling is a developmentally appropriate approach for working with adolescents; however, the counselor training concerning culture-specific considerations for working with African American adolescents in group settings was rarely explored. Therefore, this article aims to serve as a fundamental conceptual framework for working with African American adolescents in groups across different settings by addressing the appropriateness of group counseling for African American adolescents; reflecting on the current counselor preparation and training in group work with African American adolescents; discussing the development, culture, stressors, and strengths of African American adolescents; and providing implications and practical suggestions.

在团体咨询中与非裔美国青少年一起工作的辅导员准备

摘要 除了正常的发展任务外，种族和少数民族青年可能会遇到其他与他们在美国的社会、文化和结构地位相关的独特挑战。具体而言，由于贫困、邻里混乱、社区暴力和种族歧视等背景压力因素，非裔美国青少年辍学和从事健康危险行为的风险增加。团体咨询是一种适合青少年发展的方法；然而，关于在群体环境中与非裔美国青少年一起工作的特定文化考虑的辅导员培训很少被探索。所以，本文旨在作为一个基本的概念框架，通过解决针对非裔美国青少年群体咨询的适当性，在不同环境中与非裔美国青少年群体合作；反思当前辅导员的准备和与非裔美国青少年小组合作的培训；讨论非裔美国青少年的发展、文化、压力源和优势；并提供启示和实用建议。
