"On many occasions, I have thought about many of the realizations David Archer has in his book but could never find the words to express them. What David has written here is a must read by any practicing clinician who is venturing into doing anti-racist practice stemming from the way he has articulated and framed racial trauma and its treatment. David's personal and professional examples, conversations and understandings of therapeutic practice in treating racial trauma are unique, insightful, and hard hitting. Not only am I a better clinician and teacher due to reading his book, but a better person in what I can offer to my community."

Rhythm and Processing is an integrative clinical framework that is designed to treat the psychological impacts of racial trauma. Theories such as memory reconsolidation, structural dissociation, polyvagal theory, and EMDR therapy's Adaptive Information Processing theoretical model will be used to explain how racial trauma survivors can recover rapidly, efficiently, and permanently. Reading Racial Trauma Recovery will help you to become a better anti-racist psychotherapist and inspire hope for the future.
