Abstract

AbstractAs the use of intersectionality continues to increase in psychology, so do the critiques and extensions of it. Scholars and practitioners who want to integrate intersectionality need to navigate these critiques to maximize its effectiveness and minimize its potential pitfalls. We examine critiques and extensions of intersectionality, particularly as they apply to mental health theory and practice. We focus on two particular cases, namely assemblage theory and decolonial intersectionality, to discuss ways in which extensions of intersectionality can promote a broader, more inclusive model of intersectional social justice and well-being.
