Abstract

Although there seemingly is a lot of research, clinical efforts, and community work that have already been done on oppression, it does not mean that we now understand everything about it and that we know exactly how to best address it. Indeed, there are still plenty of gaps and holes in our understanding of oppression, and there is still plenty of work to do in the field of psychology to build on what we have now and continue to contribute to our society’s collective efforts to eliminate oppression. In other words, there are still plenty of ways for psychology to help address oppression and help create a more fair, just, and healthy society! To this end, the authors close the book with some general suggestions for the continued growth of psychological work on oppression.
