“The Missing Linkâ€

Abstract

Critical examinations of epistemology argue that White men have established the guidelines for scientific knowledge. Because other groups were never allotted the opportunity to contribute to the immense knowledge base, the Western scientific knowledge base remains deficient. The author calls for a more inclusive knowledge base that includes the voices of Black women in the field of psychology. This inclusion is critical to better equip mental health clinicians to handle the unique needs of this population. This article offers a historical analysis of the intricate relationship between race and scientific knowledge. The author examines how the close-knit relationship between race and science has directly influenced the existing scientific knowledge gaps surrounding Black women in the field of psychology and calls for literature to offer a more comprehensive view of Black women’s experiences.
