The main goal for the project is to translate the book "Anti-Racist Psychotherapy" from English into French.

The book is approximately 56,000 words long and focuses on a trauma-based understanding for anti-black racism and the use of EMDR therapy to treat PTSD.

Knowledge and skill of using Microsoft Word is necessary.

The translator needs to be sufficiently skilled in both official languages.

Please note I am not seeking an AI generated text.

Assets: French as a mother tongue, a background in mental health discipline, knowledge of EMDR therapy, social justice, and/or neurobiology.

Must be available for check-ins on Tuesdays mornings.

- Translation of the entire book "Anti-Racist Psychotherapy" into French

- Ensuring that the translated text accurately conveys the trauma-based understanding for anti-black racism as presented in the original English version

- Reviewing and editing the translated text to ensure linguistic and cultural accuracy

- Providing a final translated manuscript that is ready for publication and free of errors
