In this presentation we look at three models for considering the psychology involved in hate, violence, and social divisiveness. We offer clinical vignettes to consider how these own personal psychology can be impacted in the ethical provision of care to clients that we serve. We also consider ways that mental health clinicians can address social concerns at the community level.

We conclude by offering three “antidotes” to divisiveness in the sharing of interventions that can be conducted privately, in groups, or as a component to training, supervision, and clinical consultations.

Objectives:

1. Identify psychological explanations for social divisiveness and bias in general

2. Identify ways psychologists can address factors that are contributing to increasing divisiveness at the community level

3. Account for how personal psychology can be affected by the psychology of hate, violence, and divisiveness

4. Identify ways that this factors into ethical decision-making and client care
