ABSTRACT A disproportionate number of African American youth experience childhood adversity and situations of loss, including parental incarceration and divorce, while navigating racial discrimination. Ambiguous loss theory offers a conceptual framework to understand these experiences as losses of relationships, stability, and social validation due to parental behaviors. Theoretically and culturally informed interventions are needed to help adolescents cope with ambiguous loss. This article describes a psychoeducational group intervention for female African American adolescents experiencing ambiguous loss that aims to promote resilience and coping rather than promote closure following loss.

促进经历模糊损失的非裔美国青少年的复原力

摘要 不成比例的非裔美国青年在经历种族歧视的同时，经历了童年的逆境和失落的境遇，包括父母的监禁和离婚。模棱两可的损失理论提供了一个概念框架，可以将这些经历理解为由于父母行为而导致的关系、稳定性和社会认同的损失。需要在理论上和文化上知情的干预措施来帮助青少年应对模棱两可的损失。本文描述了针对经历模糊损失的非裔美国女性青少年的心理教育团体干预，旨在促进复原力和应对，而不是促进损失后的封闭。
