الوصف: Beverly Jones grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. Her parents had moved to Ohio from the South, and she eventually moved to Atlanta, where she had extended family. Jones went to school to become a nurse, then changed her major to psychology. She eventually went to graduate school and became a counselor. Jones worked at Karuna Counseling Center from the early 1980s until 1996. Established in 1974, the original mission of Karuna Counseling was to provide high quality, compassionate care for women. Over the years the practice has grown, developed and expanded its focus, and it now provides holistic psychotherapy services to men, women, adolescents, families, couples, businesses, and organizations in the Atlanta, Ga. area. The Karuna Counseling Oral History Project aims to document the history of the counseling practice through peer interviews with its therapists. ; In this interview, Beverly Jones begins by providing background information on her family, including her abusive father. She discusses her education and her switch from nursing to psychology, which enabled her career in counseling. Jones talks about her experience with the women's movement, including the racism that pervaded the movement's mainstream. She discusses sexism and racism in her various workplaces, including racism at Karuna, and describes the responses of her Karuna colleagues to being challenged about the structural racism inherent in the organization. Jones also discusses racism in a broader sense, including the rage that experiencing racism engenders in African Americans and the obstacles that African Americans face in society at large.
