This book examines the deep roots of racism in the mental health
system. Suman Fernando weaves the histories of racial discourse and
clinical practice into a narrative of power, knowledge, and black
suffering in an ostensibly progressive and scientifically grounded
system. Drawing on a lifetime of experience as a practicing
psychiatrist, he examines how the system has shifted in response to
new forms of racism which have emerged since the 1960s,
highlighting the widespread pathologization of black people, the
impact of Islamophobia on clinical practice after 9/11, and various
struggles to reform. Engaging and accessible, this book makes a
compelling case for the entrenchment of racism across all aspects
of psychiatry and clinical psychology, and calls for a paradigm
shift in both theory and practice.
