Abstract

We present an empowerment model that fosters strengths and promotes positive identity development among adolescent females of color. Race, ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status are integrated in an African American context. A case study illustrates a strength‐based approach to conceptualizing and treating a young, Black adolescent female in her cultural context. We conclude with clinical implications for using an empowerment‐based approach in psychotherapy with culturally diverse adolescent females. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Psychol/In Session.
