ABSTRACT
Social justice considerations are particularly important and relevant in the helping professions because helping relationships are inherently unequal—helpers always have more power than persons seeking help. SBT clinicians enact social justice values and actions by (a) promoting access and equity for all clients regardless of their perceived social status or position, (b) encouraging client voice and choice in all aspects of therapeutic care, and (c) advocating for social justice within and outside the therapy room by creating or participating in local or online networks of clinicians and others committed to socially just communities and practices, writing articles that address social justice concerns in clinical practice or other contexts, and contacting politicians to advocate for changes in policies and practices that adversely affect certain groups or clients.
