| Abstract |
Discusses why it is important to give consideration to the black experience if educators & practitioners are to objectively analyze black behavior. It is argued that there are few racially sensitive theoretical formulations that can accurately serve as a base for practice, & even those extant should still be subjected to rigorous empirical investigation. Therefore, until new formulations are developed, practitioners may wish to employ theoretical strips (ie, bits & pieces of existing theory) to model their practice. Examples of theory pieces are provided. 4 Tables, 99 References. Adapted from the source document
