Let's honor Dr. Joseph L. White, known as the 'Father of Black Psychology.' His work challenged traditional psychological theories and emphasized the importance of cultural factors in understanding human behavior. #BlackPsychologists #JosephWhite

Wow! This thread is so disheartening, infuriating & saddening. When I was a psychologist-in-training, something similar happened to me. Becoming a Black doctor is hard & unfair on so many levels. This is why I specialize in doing therapy w/POC professionals now. We need the care.

This!! This is why I will always keep the SPIRiT Lab going in some form. It’s a drought out here when trying to not just decolonize psychology, but center & practice & live indigenous healing. If folks are interested in learning Black/African-centered psychology, hit me up.

This!! What indeed is going on with white families that they produce the majority of mass shooters? Black psychologists have theorized about this for decades & deemed it cultural psychopathology. However, white supremacy ensures those theorists work is labeled radical & ignored.

A person is a person through other persons. Therefore healing requires that we address not only our personal struggles but also the struggles of our communities. This is something I keep in mind as a psychologist providing culturally informed care.
