Dr. Henry discusses clinical strategies for treating Black couples from the lens of the Integrative Systemic Therapy (IST) framework and using an innovative model called Integrative Culinary Therapy (ICT). Due to the history of Black people in the U.S. and the distinct multigenerational transmission of culture and identity in the Black community, rationale will be established for culturally informed interventions to be a sound approach for treatment. Dr. Henry provides relevant sociocultural information that highlights the unique coupling habits of this marginalized population, as well as an overview of IST and ICT.
