Résumé

This psychologist is frustrated.  In the final stretch of his doctoral internship, Dr. Jonathan Mathias Lassiter had just one more milestone to complete-the diversity project-where candidates insert themselves into a situation in which they'd experience what it's like to be a minority. Surprisingly, the all-white training committee failed him! They concluded that the program's only Black intern did not understand diversity.
Frustrated and panicked, he thought, These white people are crazy.  In How I Know White People Are Crazy and Other Stories, 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.  As a Black gay man working as a psychologist under culturally insensitive supervisors and colleagues in America, he grows frustrated with the exclusive talk of Sigmund Freud and the overall narrowness of psychological studies.
All this takes a mental and physical toll on him.  Using his expertise in research, his own therapy, and keeping a healthy dose of hip-hop and R&B in his ears, Dr. Lassiter discovered how we can center culture in our healing. Through a series of essays, he demands that the lived and cultural experiences of people of color, LGBTQ+, and disabled communities are properly represented within psychology practices so that we can better understand, live in, and navigate this frustrating world.
In this thought-provoking, funny, and searing indictment of the mental health system for patients, students, and professionals alike, How I Know White People Are Crazy and Other Stories will leave you thinking differently about the psychologists in your life.
