Listen "These White Folk Are Crazy"
Episode Synopsis
As a person of color, how many times have you said to yourself... These White people are crazy? Psychologist Dr. Jonathan Matthias Lassiter knows this feeling so well that he writes about these experiences in his new book, "How I Know White People Are Crazy and Other Stories: Notes from a Frustrated Black Psychologist."
Dr. Lassiter pulls back the curtain on the mental health system and reveals the hurdles that Black psychologists and students are forced to endure in the field. He tackles how white ideology has harmed Black patients and how it dominates America’s mental health practices.
We discuss the need for more Black Doctors, solutions on how to survive residency AKA "Hazing", and how Black folk have also fallen into the mire of White ideology.
