“A persuasive moral indictment of the mental-health establishment for not working harder to rid itself of prejudicial images of African-Americans within its own practices, and to address them in earnest in the larger society.” –Matthew V. Johnson, The Christian Century
“A stunner of a book. . . . The positive message here is that these scourges can be prevented.” –Leon Eisenberg, M.D., coauthor of Children in a Changing Health System
