To break the cycle of generational trauma Alleyne suggests an active process of separation from archaic attachments and engagement in intentional modes of transformation. Alleyne makes use of her own experiences throughout alongside therapeutic suggestions approaches and theoretical handles for steadying the practitioner in the consulting room. The book weaves the personal historical sociopolitical and theoretical and includes countless observational examples clinical vignettes and case material. The Burden of Heritage offers effective tools to practitioners who work therapeutically with black and minority ethnic clients and highlights ways to strengthen critical enquiry for deeper conceptual and theoretical understanding of generational trauma.
