My recent interview in the Washington Post on inter generational trauma:.

The idea that trauma can be passed across generations can be a difficult to grasp. But just as trauma can be passed through generations, so can resilience.

Last month I was tasked to lead the Racism in Medicine LEADS track @BUMedicine. Impasses in the clinical encounter are the norm rather than the exception. This research is yet another piece of evidence of the importance of being culturally responsive when delivering care.
One-third of Black patients report bringing a companion into the exam room to observe and advocate for them. And, the study found, more than a quarter of Black Californians avoid medical care simply because they believe they will be treated unfairly. #EquityInMedicine is a MUST!.

Psychologists have known for a while! This article has significant implications for how we do research and it calls for a more relational psychological science.

“The dominant scientific paradigm in psychology continues to consider context as a mere moderator of universal processes…contextual influence is assumed to be independent of the processes that cause emotions” Thanks @LFeldmanBarrett for validating what multicultural.
