EVENT DESCRIPTION: In his latest book, How I Know White People Are Crazy and Other Stories, psychologist Jonathan Mathias 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. Through a series of essays, he demands that the lived and cultural experiences of people of color, LGBTQIA+, and disabled communities are made a part of psychology practices so that we can understand, live in, and navigate this frustrating world.

Join Dr. Lassiter for a thought-provoking conversation exploring his experience as a Black gay man working as a psychologist under culturally insensitive supervisors and colleagues in America. He discusses how white ideology has harmed Black patients and how it dominates America’s mental health practices. Drawing from his research, and his own therapy, Dr. Lassiter shares the benefits we can all find when we center culture in our healing practices.
