Dr. Adia Winfrey
Black adolescent males
diagnosed with disruptive
behavior disorders can now
be helped with H.Y.P.E., a
new treatment program
specifically designed for the
young warriors of hip-hop
culture. Designed by Dr.
Adia McClellan Winfrey, the
Healing Young People thru
Empowerment (H.Y.P.E.): A
Hip-Hop Therapy Program
for Black Teenage Boys cur
riculum leverages familiar
hip-hop music, themes, and
values to help males process
through the many challenges
they face at home, in their
communities, in school, and
in their peer relationships.
Nationally, African
American males have a 42
percent chance of dropping
out of high school. In some
districts, the rates are signifi
cantly higher.
African American male
teens are placed in remedial
or special education classes
at triple the rate of their
white counterparts, and they
are underrepresented in gift
ed and honors classes.
Why hip-hop therapy? Hip-
hop was a natural for this
young population. Among
African American males, rap
is the music of choice.
According to Dr. McClellan
Winfrey, "Rap music, one of
the four elements of hip-hop
culture, is a communicative
cultural manifestation of the
worldview held by many
Black Americans. Within the
therapeutic setting, it can
help participants increase
their ability to analyze and
change irrational thoughts
and beliefs that lead to inap
propriate behavior.
Incorporating rap music in
treatment can offer a sense of
empowerment to a group that
has been ostracized in this
society for centuries."
The H.Y.RE. curriculum
should be used in a group
(vs. individual) therapy set
ting. According to Dr.
McClellan Winfrey, the
group setting offers an effec
tive, safe, peer-focused envi
ronment to share experi
ences, thoughts, and feelings.
Problem-solving strategies
and knowledge are shared
with group members.
The H.Y.P.E. curriculum can
be used by mental health pro
fessionals and others who
work with Black adolescent
boys diagnosed with disrup
tive behavior disorders.
Teachers and professors will
be more effective as they
study the research cited and
use session activities in their
own classrooms. Without a
doubt, the more the H.Y.P.E.
curriculum is utilized in the
classroom or group therapy
settings, the more well begin
to understand Black males
and help them reach their full
potential.
Dr. Winfrey earned a
Bachelor of Science degree
in Psychology from
Wilberforce University and a
Doctorate in Clinical
Psychology degree from
Wright State University
School of Professional
Psychology.
Dr. Winfrey has given
H.Y.P.E. presentations
throughout the country and
trained numerous profession
als and youth advocates. She
currently resides in Stone
Mountain, Georgia.
