摘要：Historically, there has been a scarcity of available mentors for African A merican women in psychology. The diminished presence of African American female psychologists in higher education li mits the availability of same-race mentors for African American students, which decreases opportunities for African American students to pursue and succeed in this field, w hich in turn reduces the number of African Americans pursuing teaching, research, and clinical careers within psychology. We assert that same-race/same-gender mentorship is imperative in increasing the recruitment, retention, and training of African American women in psychology. In this literature review, we seek to address the unique issues related to the mentoring experience a mong African American women in psychology across three different stages of professional development (i.e., undergraduate, graduate, and faculty). Finally, w e provide recommendations for mentors, mentees, and academi c organizations in order to foster the growth and presence of African American women psychologists
