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.
