When you think of a psychologist, you usually don't think about what minority they belong to. It never occurred to me, until this assignment was due, that a book was a bias against which they choose to be referenced in books. In any subject, not just psychology, why would it matter if someone was colored, what their gender is? Many psychologists have received no recognition or opportunities because they do not fit the stereotype of a “white man.” When you intentionally Google “psychologists,” the results are all white men. Ironic? It depends on the interpretation. I did some more research and finally came across an African American man, who was a psychologist. He is known as Joseph White. Joseph is well known as the “godfather of the field of dark psychology.” A little history about Joseph White would be helpful in understanding why I chose him to write my article. Additionally, it would educate the reader about his lifestyle and why he became a psychologist. Joseph White had a general childhood. He was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, but soon after moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota. White has been married twice. He and his first wife had three beautiful children. He remarried, but has no children with his current wife. The most important information about his childhood was that he never had the desire to continue his education after high school. Mr. White's mother had convinced him to continue his education. White's mother had sent him to college preparatory school at a young age. He studied at the University of San Francisco and went on to earn his doctorate from Michigan State University in 1962. Mr. White studied at the University of San Francisco, ...... in the middle of the 'article......and is in fact to help protect and assist only the public. Currently, Joseph White is a professor at the University of California, Irvine. Any man and/or woman who has done so much for others, who has a long career and education like White deserves to be in any psychology textbook. . White is still alive and has been in his career for about 50 years. He has helped and improved the lives of many people through his work and his great knowledge of psychology. He will continue to be a remarkable person, known for his great achievements in psychology. Joseph White was just one of many psychologists who had exceptional careers. He came from a good family, had attended two major universities and was very well known. Why is someone with his qualifications barred from being part of our psychology textbook?
