A person of color on the cover of your magazine once a twice a year wouldn’t hurt either.

Former subscriber who recently cancelled. Very disappointed with PT. I recommend that any person of color advertise their services elsewhere.

Psychology Today continues to miss the mark on Black mental health and issues of race. They need more Black voices within their company at all levels to better reflect the accurate experience of Black people and how to relate and provide clinically sound treatment to them. Shame on them for continuously missing the mark.

For your writer not to label his observation that “(t)hey behave in entitled and demanding ways” as “a very bad trend“ is asinine arrogance. And his failure to call out the “Karens” for behavior stemming from their own demonization of the people at whom their vitriol is aimed seems woefully negligent. Such public actions against persons of color merit public reactions and personal repercussions. If Becky, Bob, Susan, Sal, Karen and Kevin don’t desire to endure the consequences, behavior modification is a must. Oh the Caucasity of it all.

This article completely misses the point, distorts the conversation, and promotes disinformation designed to harm activist movements. Check your facts and get to know the activists you are critiquing. I've canceled my membership with PT. I'm tired of you all not getting it.

The article is a complete and gross misrepresentation of what the term "Karen" references. It paints the victim, of another person's aggression and indignant superiority compkec, as the problem.

This is not the representation we should have as a field in 2020. Wake up.

This is a good time for Psychology Today to do the right thing by African American, Indigenous People and People of Color mental health professionals. Be fair and equitable.

I would like to see a response to this. I may move to Therapy Tribe and other inclusive directories if this is not ameliorated.
